Sunanda laptop, cellphones sent for forensic analysis

Delhi Police has handed over the laptop and mobile phones of Congress MP Shashi Tharoor’s deceased wife Sunanda Pushkar to Gandhinagar-based Directorate of Forensic Science (DFS), to retrieve crucial data which could help the ongoing probe into her death.

After Tharoor was questioned by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the circumstances leading to the mysterious death of Sunanda a year back, the Delhi Police handed over her laptop and four mobile phones to DFS for further analysis.

Tharoor was questioned for about four hours by the SIT of Delhi Police nearly three weeks after a case of murder was registered on the basis of a medical report that concluded that she died of poisoning.
Sunanda, 52, was found dead in her suite at Leela Palace hotel in Delhi on January 17 last year, a day after she was involved in a spat with Pakistani journalist Mehr Tarar on micro-blogging website Twitter over the latter’s alleged affair with Tharoor.
