Sunanda Pushkar death probe: Shashi Tharoor loses his cool, hits out at media

New Delhi, May 21: Congress minister Shashi Tharoor lost his cool on Wednesday night after he was being questioned by media persons over the probe into his wife Sunanda Pushkar's death.

Tharoor hit out at the media saying, "Scummy channel accuses me of evading questions. I speak to the police and investigators, not to self-appointed vigilante liars."

He tweeted saying: "I let myself down by shouting in fury at a badgering hack whom I had often been kind to. Won't again. I regret giving them the satisfaction."
