Delhi Police Commissioner BS Bassi told the media that Special Investigation Team (SIT) has summoned Tharoor and others to join the probe. Tharoor’s questioning will be done in the light of the new revelations and the statements of other persons, including Shiv Menon the son of Sunanda Pushkar. Menon was questioned by the SIT on February 5.
