(34.9600) The allegation of instigating a wife for self-murder is against the former minister of India
India's former minister and UN diplomat Shashi Tharoor has been accused of inciting a woman to suicide. Shashi Tharoor's wife Sunanda Pushkar's body was recovered from a five star hotel in Delhi in 2014. Although initially considered to be a suicide, the police later told the incident to be a murder. However, no suspect's name was published during that time. British media reported on the BBC.
On Monday, Delhi Police filed complaint against Shashi Tharoor for instigating a woman and torturing her. The Indian lawmaker has announced that he will continue a strong fight against the 'inaccurate charge' brought against him on Twitter.
Tharoor, the current Congress MP from India's main opposition, married a Dubai-based businessman Pushkar in 2010. A few days before Pushkar's death, a number of controversies spread around the couple. At that time, in a series of tweets, Pushkar Tharoor was accused of having a relationship with a Pakistani journalist. But after some time they told everyone that they were happy and married and happily. At that time they blamed unauthorized tweets.
