New Delhi: Union minister Shashi Tharoor Sunday recorded his statement with a sub-divisional magistrate here regarding the mysterious death of his wife Sunanda Pushkar and also wrote to Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde urging him to issue instructions for expediting a probe in the matter.
Tharoor recorded his statement with Vasant Vihar sub-divisional magistrate Alok Sharma. The minister reached Sharma's office in Kapashera area around 5.30 p.m. and stayed there for 50 minutes.
Sharma also recorded the statement of TV journalist Nalini Singh, "who was the last person Pushkar called" from her mobile, according to police officials.
"The sub-divisional magistrate recorded my statement as Sunanda had talked to me, just hours before she was found dead in the room of hotel Leela Palace Friday. I also told him that I am ready to cooperate throughout the investigation, if required," Nalini told IANS.
In his letter to Shinde, Tharoor said he was "horrified to read the reckless speculation rampant" in the media and offered his full cooperation in the probe.
