messages, supposedly sent by the Pakistani
journalist Mehr Tarar to Tharoor, were posted on
Tharoor's Twitter account. The messages declared
Tarar's love for Tharoor. Tharoor tried to downplay
the incident by stating that his account had been
hacked. However, Sunanda later stated that the
account had not been hacked and that she had
posted the messages to expose what she believed
to be Mehr's stalking of her husband. She accused
Mehr of being an ISI agent. Later, she stated that
she did not want to go public about the matter,
particularly in an election year.

Sunanda and Shashi Tharoor" was published on
Shashi Tharoor's Facebook page. The note
stated that the couple was happily married, and

being posted to Twitter. The note also stated
that Sunanda had been hospitalized after being
ill, and was seeking rest.

11. Jan 16: Mr and Mrs Tharoor checked into the Hotel
Leela Palace in Delhi as the government house
owed to them was being painted. Some reports
claim the couple had checked into two separate
suites - 342 and 345.

attend the crucial AICC meeting organized by his
party Congress. Mrs Tharoor was last seen on the

hotel staff at about 3.30 pm on Friday to order
lunch.
That evening she told NDTV's Group Editor Barkha
Dutt on the phone that she was at the Leela and
that she planned to seek a divorce and was
"heart-broken", details not reported by NDTV
because it was seen as a private matter.

13. Later Mr Tharoor returned to the hotel at 8:00
pm. Mr Tharoor tweeted from his Twitter

have committed suicide. The later reports stated that
the cause of death was unnatural; the doctors at
AIIMS gave a preliminary autopsy report that exposed
injury marks on her body. The doctors said that these
injuries may or may not be the cause of death. The
autopsy indicated that she died of drug overdose,
most likely a combination of sedatives, other strong
medicines and probably alcohol. A Probe has been
ordered by SDM to examine the cause of poisoning
and to ascertain if it was murder or suicide. Her body
was cremated at Lodhi crematorium in South Delhi.

strong to commit suicide

21-year-old Menon, Sunanda's son from a earlier

were "very much in love" despite their "occasional
differences" and that he did not believe that the
