Tharoor was called today for the third time in two days by Delhi Police's Special Investigation Team(SIT) that is probing Sunanda's death in January 2014.
Asked about the information shared by Tharoor with the SIT, Delhi Police Commissioner B S Bassi, said, "Tharoor was called today and we took some information and data. We will now analyse the data and see...We gathered detailed information from him yesterday, now his statement will be analysed."
He visited Sarojini Nagar Police Station informing SIT that he was leaving for Thiruananthapuram later in the day.
Police sources said the SIT has asked Tharoor to keep them informed about his movements and contact details so that the team can get in touch with him whenever they need him during investigation. However, police has not put any restrictions on his movement as of now.
The former Union Minister reached the police station around 1 PM and spent about half-an-hour.
Meanwhile, sources also said that a team from the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Delhi Police is in Mumbai to look into the business model of defunct IPL Kochi franchise and see whether there was anything fishy in its financial transactions. The team is also likely to meet BCCI officials in this regard.
Yesterday's questioning of Tharoor was mainly focused on the IPL controversy which had broken out in early 2010 when he was minister of state for external affairs.
Tharoor was yesterday quizzed for nearly seven hours, spread over two rounds including for two hours late in the night during which he faced tough questions mainly on IPL controversy. He was earlier quizzed on January 19.
"I am not getting into any details of anything which is between me and the police. When the investigation is on, it's my duty to cooperate with the investigation, nothing else. As far as I am concerned, every Indian citizen has the duty to cooperate with the authorities as they do their duty. That's what I am doing," he told reporters at Thiruvananthapuram airport this evening.
Asked when he would be questioned again, he said, "Whenever they (police) want to speak to me, I am available.
