Sources said that police will decide its next step after it gets the final report from the American investigative body.
DCP (South) Prem Nath had gone to the US last month to deliver the sample of Sunanda’s viscera to the FBI labs.
Investigators had sent the viscera samples there after AIIMS doctors had said that Indian labs lacked facility to identify the poison which caused her death.
The cause of death, termed “poisoning” by a panel of AIIMS doctors has remained the biggest mystery of the case as they could not specify the kind of poison and the way it reached Sunanda’s body.
“The Special Investigating Team (SIT) which is probing the case is waiting for FBI’s report in the case. A considerable amount of investigation has been completed in this case,” Bassi told reporters here today.
Questioned about reports suggesting that the Delhi Police has contacted Pakistan High Commission regarding Pakistan journalist Tarar’s questioning, Bassi said: “We haven’t established any contact with the Pakistan High Commission regarding the questioning of Mehr Tarar, these reports are untrue.”
As far as examining of Tarar is concerned, it will be done if required, he added.
Bassi had on March 12 said Tarar was a “relevant link” in the case and the SIT probing Sunanda’s death may question her soon.
A day before the former Congress Union minister Shashi Tharoor’s wife was found dead in a luxury hotel here in January last year, she had a spat with Tarar on microblogging website Twitter over the
latter’s alleged affair with Tharoor.
