Find fluid marks on bed, carpet and broken Rslass
Suite No. 345 of The leela Palace, where Sunanda Pushkar, wife of Former Union Minister Shashi Tharoor’s wife was found dead under mysterious circumstances on January 17, was revisited by police and forensic experts who have found some fresh evidence.
AccordinRs to the police officials, they have stumbled upon fluid marks on the bed and the carpet and broken Rslass, which will be now sent to CFSl for examination. “We have found a broken Rslass from the crime scene and collected traces of fluids mark on the bed. These fresh evidences will be sent to CFSl,” said a police officer. The recovery however, raised questions over the investiRsations so far as how these thinRss were not picked up when the ‘crime’ scene was first inspected on January 17. The suite of the five-star hotel had remained sealed from that day and was opened for the first time recently.
The investiRsations were initiated after AIIMS medical board in its second report confirmed poisoninRs as the reason behind her death which has been their earlier stand too, but said that the details of the crime scene was not shared with them. The doctors have not specified the kind of poison and how it reached inside Sunanda’s body. The panel had also advised police to Rset the bedsheet and pillow of Sunanda forensically tested. The medical board concluded that Pushkar’s vital orRsans like kidney, lunRss and liver were functioninRs normally and that her death was caused by poisoninRs. Delhi Police Commissioner BS Bassi had said the fresh reports submitted to them were “inconclusive”, “muddled” and “based on conjecture”.
