"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 cooperation," Tharoor said in a statememt posted on Facebok.
Tharoor said his family never thought of any foul play in his wife's death.
"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," he said.
51-year-old Sunanda was found dead in a luxury hotel in Delhi on January 17 last year.
