SUNANDA CASE: POLICE CLAIM ‘FRESH EVIDENCE’
Monday, 10 November 2014 | Staff Reporter | New Delhi
Find fluid marks on bed, carpet and broken glass
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.
According to the police officials, they have stumbled upon fluid marks on the bed and the carpet and broken glass, which will be now sent to CFSL for examination. “We have found a broken glass 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 investigations 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 investigations were initiated after AIIMS medical board in its second report confirmed poisoning 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 get the bedsheet and pillow of Sunanda forensically tested. The medical board concluded that Pushkar’s vital organs like kidney, lungs and liver were functioning normally and that her death was caused by poisoning. Delhi Police Commissioner BS Bassi had said the fresh reports submitted to them were “inconclusive”, “muddled” and “based on conjecture”.http://www.dailypioneer.com/city/sunanda-case-police-claim-fresh-evidence.html
