“Nine months after she was found mysteriously dead in a hotel room, the Delhi Police woke up to find that some of the personal belongings of Pushkar have been missing all this while. This clearly shows a botched investigation, done at the behest of rich and influential people…

…The HOD of the forensic department was under a tremendous pressure of Director of AIIMS, Dr. Tharoor and Gulam Nabi Azad to give autopsy report as natural death and clean chit as communicated by Dr. Gupta ( a child specialist at Dubai and a close family friend of Sunanda Pushkar contacted for Subsequent Medical Opinion by Department of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology AIIMS.).”

Swamy also contends that Sunanda Pushkar knew about some of the murky dealings regarding the Indian Premier League and had sent messages to some journalists to come to her hotel so that she could give interviews on IPL frauds. However, he claims, she was murdered before these interviews could take place.

In May this year, Shashi Tharoor had filed a defamation case in the Delhi High Court against journalist Arnab Goswamifor broadcasting certain tapes suggesting foul play in the death of Sunanda Pushkar.
