Responding to queries from reporters at the Delhi airport, Tharoor said, “If he (Swamy) knows the murderer then let him tell the police.”
Reacting to Tharoor’s charge, Swamy, while speaking to a news channel said, “I never said that I know who the murderer is, I said that Shashi Tharoor knows who the murderer is.” Alleging that Tharoor was part of the conspiracy to kill Sunanda, Swamy said that if he had known the killer he would have told the police long ago.
Swamy added that Tharoor must be subjected to custodial interrogation now that an FIR has been registered for murder. “He should be questioned and if he was to lie to the police then he should be arrested,” he said. The noted lawyer also accused Tharoor of trying to cover up Sunanda’s murder as a natural death.
Swamy was among the first to allege foul play in the death of Sunanda Pushkar. He claimed that Sunanda was silenced as she had wanted to tell the truth about murky dealings in the IPL.
Delhi Police chief BS Bassi had, on Monday, stated that Tharoor might be questioned soon in connection with his wife’s murder, while adding that the SIT probing the case has been asked to fast-track the case so that a chargesheet could be filed soon.
“I know Tharoor is in Delhi. Our SIT (Special Investigation Team) is working on the case, and if they require, they will call him (Tharoor) soon,” Bassi told the media.
