New Delhi: Pictures of Sunanda Pushkar's dead body have been leaked in media and now it has gone viral on social media.

The leakage of these pics has once again raised serious questions over the police investigation.

Delhi Police Commissioner B S Bassi surprised everybody yesterday when he disclosed that Sunanda Pushkar, wife of Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, was actually murdered.

Bassi made this disclosure nearly a year after Sunanda Pushkar was found dead in Delhi's Leela Hotel.

Bassi said that a case of murder had been filed against unknown persons in this case on January 1. The police registered the FIR two days after it received the report from the medical board, constituted to investigate Sunanda's death, on December 30, 2014.  

The medical board headed by Dr Sudhir Gupta had come to the conclusion that Sunanda died of poisoning.  The board, however, could not exactly identify the poisonous substance that was used to assassinate Sunanda.

The head of the AIIMS medical board based on whose report a murder case was registered into Congress MP Shashi Tharoor's wife Sunanda Pushkar's death, today said the panel did not mention “homicide” in its findings and it found “poisoning” as the cause of her death.
