Stunned at Sunanda's murder reports: Tharoor

On his Facebook page he hoped for "unvarnished truth" to come out

Shashi Tharoor, Congress MP from Thiruvananthapuram, today said that he is 'stunned' after the Delhi Police confirmed that his wife Sunanda Pushkar died of poisoning.

Here's his statement from his Facebook page: "I am stunned to hear that the Delhi Police have filed a case of murder against unknown persons in the demise of my late wife Sunanda. Needless to say I am anxious to see this case is investigated thoroughly and continue to assure the Police of my full co-operation. Although we never thought of any foul play in the death of my wife, we all want that a comprehensive investigation be conducted and that the unvarnished truth should come out.

"In the meantime, I join all members of Sunanda's family in asking for full information about the basis on which the Police have come to this conclusion. We have not been provided with copies of the postmortem report and other reports of the inquiry like the CFSL report till date. We repeat our request for a copy of these reports to be provided to us immediately."
