Sunanda's son makes a timely intervention

Shiv Menon, Sunanda's son through an earlier marriage, is contemptuous of those who want unnecessary enquiries into the natural death of his mother. What is the locus standi of Subramanian Swamy to plead for CBI enquiry when the Delhi police has repeatedly proved its efficiency by closing its eyes to what was happening ?

It is a pity that even the Delhi High Court is unable to appreciate the genuineness of Tharoor and Shiv Menon. Following is an interesting excerpt:

"Mehra (the counsel representing the Delhi police) further stated that he found it strange that a son is objecting to a petition seeking a probe into his mother’s death. This observation was seconded by the Bench,

“That is what we thought. A son should be extremely happy that a probe is sought in his mother’s death. It gives him an opportunity to ask why a chargesheet has not been filed.”

The Bench concluded by saying that if in a criminal case, the chargesheet is not filed in 3 years, then it is a serious matter. The Bench further stated that the son should first get himself impleaded in the petition and then they will hear his submissions."

Does the Honourable Bench appreciate Tharoor's anguish? Do they know what is lupus? Tharoor should educate them.

Update on Mrs.Tharoor's death

Dr.Sudhir Gupta had all along been complaining that the Director of AIIMS pressurised him to term the death of Sunanda Tharoor as 'natural'. AIIMS now proposes to replace him as the Head of Forensics Department.

Dr.Adarsh Kumar, member secretary of the medical board that oversaw the autopsy, has now alleged that he and others in the forensics department were pressurised by the Director of AIIMS to categorise the death as natural.

There are many pointers to the tragic truth; but the wilfully blind refuse to recognise any of them.

Sunanda Pushkar

It would now appear that the mystery relating to Sunanda Pushkar's death will remain a mystery for ever. Arun Jaitley has condemned media's inquisitiveness which according to him amounts to trial by media which creates enormous pressure on trial courts.

But the case will never reach the trial court for the simple reason that the victim is dead and trial proceedings will endanger the 'reputation' of a powerful former minister who is now a self-appointed ambassador for Narendra Modi.

This colossal indifference to the dead will remain a permanent blot on Delhi police which cooperated with the government and chose to ignore several smoking guns.

May justice rest in peace!

Murder, most foul and investigation, most tardy

What was as clear as sunlight to most Indians on 17th January, 2014 is now 'suspected' by the Delhi police. It has taken almost a year of police inaction to discover that Sunanda Pushkar was murdered. Subramanian Swamy was among the first to call it a 'gruesome murder' which it really was.

Despite tell-tale pieces of evidence and damning accounts of Tharoor's domestic help, the former minister continues to feign incredible innocence. It is obvious that police was prevented from doing its job in time by the then government at the centre.

A dead victim rarely gets justice. It continues to be unlikely that the murderers and their accomplices are brought to book. The MP's shameful complicity in the murder is an insult to the parliament and to voters in Thiruvananthapuram.

Today's editorial in The Hindu is an understated reference to Shashi Tharoor's guilt:

Sunanda Pushkar's death : Emerging picture

Details emerge over time. Cover-ups and obfuscations give way to evidence and clarity. But the process may take an excruciatingly long time. In the mean time, the main actors may even have died. The mystery relating to Sunanda Pushkar's unnatural death (it would have been called a gruesome murder but for the high-profile minister's involvement) is undergoing such a meandering process.

Had she been married to a commoner, such a nasty event would not have occurred. If it had happened, the cruel inhuman husband would have been arrested straightaway. But ministers seem to be immune from criminal investigations for spousal cruelty and uxoricide.

Sunanda Pushkar's relatives are now beginning to gather strength to speak the truth. Her cousin, Ashok Kumar, has voiced the most sensible and straightforward concern about the husband's obvious involvement. He has attributed Sunanda's son Shiv's so-called clean-chit to the minister to mortal fear.

The needle of suspicion matter-of-factly has right from the beginning pointed to one person and he has been allowed so far to walk free, travel abroad and curry favour with the new ruling establishment for ten months. Yet, the law continues to be otiose. National Commission for Women and various women's organisations should hang their heads in shame for letting down a murdered woman so shabbily.
