Rest in peace, Sunanda: Pakistani journalist

A Pakistani journalist accused of having an affair with Minister of State Shashi Tharoor Friday expressed shock over Sunanda Pushakar's mysterious death.

"I am absolutely shocked," Mehr Tarar said in a tweet. "This is too awful for words. So tragic, I don't know what to say. Rest in peace, Sunanda."

Earlier this week, Pushkar accused Tarar of pursuing her husband and threatened to divorce Tharoor. The journalist denied the allegation, and publicly trashed Pushkar.
