poor sunanda pushkar tharoor

the evidence suggests more and more that it was an ISI hit job. no, she wasn't seriously ill -- the doctors at KIMS, trivandrum, who treated her earlier this week didn't say (patient doctor privilege) what she was in hospital for, but said there was nothing seriously wrong with her that was life-threatening. so it's hard to believe she committed suicide because she was very ill. 

if she did commit suicide, where is the suicide note? she had been threatening to tell all about the alleged ISI honey-trap meher tarer who was allegedly stalking shashi, and whose alleged DMs she had tweeted from shashi's id.

and also about the IPL scam.

in fact, the last was probably her big mistake. she lived in dubai, and surely had some inklings about D-company and their links to IPL. exposing these would surely not do. 

thus, the ISI (which didn't want its alleged spy exposed) and D-company (which didn't want their dealings exposed) both had good reason to bump off sunanda.

it seems that the post-mortem found bruises on her shoulders, arms, etc. which would fit in with a possible struggle scenario.

she should have recorded a detailed testament and put it in a safe place in case she was murdered -- a trusted lawyer could bring it out. i suspect she didn't think she'd get murdered. and that too, professionally.

it is unlikely that shashi had her bumped off, because it is not clear how he would benefit. in fact, he is likely to be dumped from the cabinet now, and may even lose his trivandrum lok sabha seat. no, he didn't have an incentive to have her liquidated. and this puts paid to his long shot bid for PM.

so if you look at who gains from sunanda being silenced, it is the ISI-Dcompany. they have the means and the motive to bump her off, and that's probably what happened.

I read somewhere (was it rediff?) that some man had brought her outside food. Very conveniently, the CCTV camera on the floor was not working, and there is no photographic record of who this person was.

If the death was of suspicious nature, why the investigative authorities permitted the cremation? Although the autopsy is recorded, and body samples have been taken, they may get tampered with or altogether disappear just like the coal files did.

Nexus of ISI / D-Company / politically backed forces controlling Indian cricket...who knows?

I would not jump the gun and give Shashi Tharoor a clean chit at this stage. Per what Sunanda Pushkar said to a news daily:

Talking to a news daily, Sunanda Tharoor said “Our accounts have not been hacked and I have been sending out these tweets. I cannot tolerate this. This is a Pakistani woman who is an ISI (Inter Services Intelligence) agent, and she is stalking my husband. And you know how men are. He is flattered by the attention. I took upon myself the crimes of this man during IPL (Indian Premier League). I will not allow this to be done to me. I just can’t tolerate this. I have nothing more to say.”

ISI/D-Company might have done the deed but one cannot rule out Shashi having asked them to because of his fear that Sunanda was about to go public.

Their marriage was breaking down:

It may have potentially been a drug overdose.

Of course proof is not required :)

There also seem to be questions about injury marks on Sunanda's body, including her arms and chest.

I'm wondering what dirty Congress will have to make up to pin on Modi, in order to get their Tharoor scandal out of the headlines. After Tejpal screwed up, Congress had to come up with "Snoopgate" as retaliation. Now due to Tharoor scandal, they'll probably be looking for something else to concoct.

Todays news reveals that Tharoor indeed knew the Pakistan woman journalist well having "good relations" with her. We don't know yet as to what those "good relations" were. Tharoor is no angel either. If one were to join CONgress, one has to be like them. He is also a dynasty worshippor is obvious from his book eulogizing the Italian queen. I put forth two main theories behind Sunanda's murder in a comment on on of the earlier posts here. But they were not published by the blogger concerned for whatever reason. Rajiv, I have been reading your blogs for many years now. I admire your Hindu nationalistic views. But if I comments are not published for parochial reasons, then it is indeed sad.
