Tharoor questioned for five hours

“I must say that I am sure that we are on the right track and the Special Investigation Team (SIT) is doing a great job,” Bassi said, adding that a number of reasons were responsible for the “slow” progress in the case. 

Tharoor, who is Lok Sabha member from Thiruvanathapuram, was questioned for nearly five hours by the SIT at the Anti-Auto Theft Squad office inside the premises of South Delhi’s Vasant Vihar police station on Saturday, a source said. He was subjected to three rounds of questioning a year ago. 

On Tharoor’s questioning, Bassi said, “Whatever clarifications were required to be obtained from Shashi Tharoor, those perhaps have been obtained.” 

“If SIT thinks further clarification is required, it may summon Tharoor again,” he said, adding that the police is trying to take the case to a logical conclusion as early as possible. The latest round of questioning was in light of the findings of the AIIMS Medical Board’s opinion on the FBI report on Sunanda’s viscera and other crucial evidence.
