A special investigative team (SIT) of the Delhi Police is scheduled to examine former union minister Shashi Tharoor in connection with his wife Sunanda Pushkar's murder investigation.
"As far as this case is concerned, the SIT will know better, but I can assure you that our objective is to complete the investigation as soon as possible. I understand that Tharoor is soon going to be examined by the SIT and as and when there is something definite, I will let you know," Delhi Police Commissioner BS Bassi told the media.
Bassi also declined to confirm or deny rumours of Tharoor having written to the police, simply stating that it is the prerogative of anyone to do so.
"It is the prerogative of anyone to write to the police. We take into consideration anything which is relevant. So if anything has been written by Tharoor, it will be taken into consideration by us," he said.
Pushkar, who married Tharoor in 2010, had checked into The Leela Hotel in Chanakyapuri a day before her death on January 17, 2014.
Tharoor's aides said the couple had checked into the luxury hotel because of renovation work at his New Delhi bungalow.
Prior to her death, Sunanda was embroiled in a spat with Pakistan-based journalist, Mehr Tarar, whom she accused of stalking her husband.
