Mrs Tharoor was found dead at a hotel room on Friday night, days after she said her husband was having an affair with Pakistani journalist Mehr Tarar.
Here are the top 10 developments in the case:
- Ms Tarar said today that she had no role in the alleged marital discord between Mr Tharoor and Sunanda Pushkar. "News has been appearing about their marriage for long. A Pakistani woman sitting here cannot spoil their marriage," she said.
- Doctors at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) said yesterday that Mrs Tharoor had a "sudden, unnatural death". Dr Sudhir Gupta, one of the three doctors who conducted the autopsy, however, said a few injury marks have been found on Mrs Tharoor's body, but refused to elaborate.
- The autopsy was photographed and filmed. A preliminary report will be submitted to the Sub-Division Magistrate soon, doctors said yesterday.
- Mr Tharoor was admitted to same hospital for a few hours yesterday after he complained of chest pains and palpitation.
- Mrs Tharoor was found dead on her bed at 9 pm by Mr Tharoor at the hotel they were staying in while their home was being painted.
- She was cremated at the Lodhi Road crematorium yesterday evening. She is survived by her husband, Mr Tharoor, and a 21-year-old son from an earlier marriage.
- Her iPad and iPhone have been taken as forensic evidence by the police. Investigators are examining the CCTV footage at the hotel and the staff is also being questioned.
- On Wednesday, in a series of tweets, she accused reporter Ms Tarar of stalking her husband. She told NDTV sources that she would seek a divorce.
- But next day, the couple issued joint statement saying they are "happily married" and intend to stay that way."
- They married in 2010, it was the third marriage for both. Four months before that, Mr Tharoor had to quit his first ministerial post after allegations that a Rs. 70-crore stake given to his wife in the Kerala franchise of the IPL was actually a payment to the minister for arranging the sale of the team from his home.
