A drug overdose could be a possible cause of the death of Sunanda Pushkar, wife of Union Minister Shashi Tharoor, whose statement will be recorded on Monday by the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM).
With doctors declaring her death in a five-star hotel yesterday as "sudden, unnatural" after the autopsy conducted today, the focus of investigations shifted to potential causes that led to the demise of 52-year-old Sunanda.
While the final autopsy report will be available in "couple of days", police sources said that it could be a case of drug overdose. However, a final picture would emerge only after toxicological analysis and a complete visco-pathological examination.
Alok Sharma, the SDM probing the sensation death, told PTI tonight that statements of Sunanda's son and brother had been recorded and also that of two servants of the Tharoors.
Asked when he would record Tharoor's statement, he said he was initially planning to do so tomorrow but had been informed that the minister and the family were going to Haridwar. Therefore, it would be recorded on Monday, he said.
