Sunanda Pushkar murder probe: SIT to interrogate Pakistani journalist Mehr Tarar

Delhi Police Commissioner BS Bassi on Saturday confirmed
that Pakistani journalist Mehr Tarar will be interrogated in the Sunanda
Pushkar's murder probe.
"Mehr Tarar is a relevant witness and the SIT has realized need to
speak to her. We are examining how exactly they can proceed in the
matter," said Bassi.
Earlier on Friday, the Delhi police had rubbished reports suggesting
that they have approached the Pakistan High Commission regarding
the questioning of Tarar.
"We haven't established any contact with the Pakistan High
Commission regarding the questioning of Mehr Tarar, these reports are
untrue," Bassi had said.
"She [Mehr Tarar] will be called for examination when necessary," he
added.
Sunanda was found dead in the five-star Leela Hotel in Delhi on
January 17, 2014.
She was married to Congress leader Shashi Tharoor for a little less
than four years. Before her death, Sunanda had publicly accused
Tharoor of having an affair with Tarar.
Sunanda's death was initially debated as a possible suicide for
months, but a murder theory began to be considered seriously after
doctors at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS)
maintained that her demise was unnatural.
