The report has been submitted to Delhi police on 30 September, 2014. It was filed by a medical board of Dr Adarsh Kumar, Dr Shashank Pooniya and Dr Sudhir Gupta on 27 September titled ‘Subsequent Medical Board Opinion in the case of Sunanda Pushkar’. The report runs into 12 pages.
It states that the bed sheet and the mattress on which Sunanda was found dead on 17 January at a five-star hotel in south Delhi require forensic analysis. The medical board also reserved comments on specific poison but the report says that the cause of her death was poisoning.
Earlier, in the preliminarily autopsy reports, there was mention of the mix of two drugs - Alprazolam and Excedrin- in Sunanda’s body. Later, there were reports in the media that she died due to overdose of Alprax but the fresh report submitted by the panel of three doctors clearly says: No overdose of Alprax. ‘Haemorrhagic patches all over stomach mucosa. Lungs were congested. Lungs weighed 400 grams more than normal,’ the report says. Millennium Post had earlier reported that Tharoor was working overtime to make her death look natural.
The fresh report states that Sunanda was healthy and had no disease of heart, kidney, liver or lungs. Also, the new report clearly specified that Sunanda was not suffering from LUPUS. On 27 February, 2014, a facsimile message was sent from Shashi Tharoor’s ministerial office to AIIMS forwarding a certificate from one Dr Anil Gupta of Cooper Health Clinic in Dubai to ‘help in determining the cause of her death’. The certificate suggested that she could have died of LUPUS.
Sunanda was found dead a day after her Twitter spat with Pakistani journalist Mehr Tarar over the latter’s alleged affair with Shashi Tharoor. If sources are to be believed her death could have been due to Polonium poisoning. The traces of Polonium-210 is rare and highly radioactive isotope. But the lethal dose could be as little as a few milligrams, which could be administrated as a powder or dissolved in liquid/drinks, the report says.
