What the Delhi police said?
According to the Delhi Police, all the three were aware of the facts of the case. They have lied in their statements to us, the Delhi Police also claimed.
All the three persons were present in the Hotel just before her death, the police state.
Although the three knew about the alleged relationship between Shashi Tharoor and Pakistani journalist Mehr Tarar, they have not told the police about the same.
This is crucial to the investigation as this alleged relationship had become the reason for the discord between Sunanda and Shashi, the police also claimed.
Injury not disclosed:
In addition to this they have also not disclosed how Sunanda sustained injury marks on her body, the police also alleged. Repair work at Tharoor's residence was over All through the investigation, several persons had told the police that Sunanda was staying at the hotel in the wake of ongoing repair work at Shashi Tharoor's residence.
However during the investigation it had been found that the repair work at the Lodhi Garden house was over much before Sunanda had arrived in New Delhi.
The three persons have however maintained that she was staying at the hotel as there was repair work going on in the house.
The police say that this is a lie and the repair had been completed much before she came to New Delhi.
