January 12, 2015 15:19

Delhi Police Commissioner B S Bassi today said the questioning of Congress MP Shashi Tharoor in connection with the death of his wife Sunanda Pushkar is "possible in the next couple of days".

When asked about media reports that the evidence in the hotel room where Sunanda was found dead on January 17 last year was tampered with, Bassi said, "There is no basis to these allegations."

"I know that he (Tharoor) has come to Delhi. Our investigation is on and it is possible in the next couple of days or whenever the SIT will find it appropriate, they will question him," he said.

The police chief also did not rule out questioning Pakistani journalist Mehr Tarar, and said if the SIT finds anything relevant, "that will not be ignored". Bassi also said Sunanda's viscera samples have not been sent abroad for testing as yet.
