Delhi Police Commissioner B.S. Bassi on Thursday said that Pakistani journalist Mehr Tarar may be questioned in connection with the death case of Sunanda Pushkar.
"If necessary we will question her. We will try to gather information from her as she is a relevant person who may throw some light on the case," said Bassi.
Sunanda's son Shiv Menon, former minister Shashi Tharoor and senior journalist Nalini Singh have so far been interrogated by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) in connection with this case.
Sunanda was found dead in the five-star Leela Hotel in Delhi on January 17, 2014.
She was married to Tharoor for a little less than four years. It was the third marriage for both.
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.
