Tharoor deleted BBMs sent to Mehr Tarar
In an explosive revelation, senior journalist Nalini Singh has said that Sunanda Pushkar was tensed and crying hard hours before her death.
New Delhi: In an explosive revelation, senior journalist Nalini Singh has said that Sunanda Pushkar was tensed and crying hard hours before her death.
Notably, the TV journalist was the last person Sunanda called from her mobile.
In an exclusive conversation with Zee Media, Singh said she received a call from Sunanda at 12:10 am on January 17, hours before she was found dead in the room of a five-star hotel here.
“At 12:10 am on January 17, I received a call from Sunanda. She was crying hard and was very tensed. I thought it is because of the then ongoing Twitter spat between her and Pakistani scribe Mehr Tarar. But Sunanda told me that Shashi has deleted messages from his BlackBerry Messenger. She said that as a media person, I should help her in retrieving those messages... But let me tell you that Sunanda discussed about Tarar with me six months back also during a dinner at her place.”
Sunanda was also unhappy because of a meet between her husband Shashi Tharoor and Tarar in Dubai, Singh added.
Sunanda was found dead at Hotel Leela Palace in south Delhi on January 17, just a day after she and Shashi Tharoor claimed they were "happily married" despite an ugly public spat.
Sunanda had alleged an affair between the Pakistani journalist and her husband days before her death in mysterious conditions. The controversy surrounding her death has been revived now.
Meanwhile, the head of the AIIMS' forensic department stuck to his controversial claim that pressure was brought on him to manipulate the post mortem report on Sunanda.
A day after the premier health insitute denied his claim, Dr Sudhir Gupta said, "I stand by what I said".
"How do they know there is no pressure on me? Who were they to clarify that there is no pressure on me? What was the hurry to call a press conference?," he said.
In a letter to the Health Ministry and Chief Vigilance Commission, he has alleged that he was being targeted because he said in the post-mortem report that Sunanda died of drug poisoning.
