New Delhi, Jan 18 – 2.30 pm: In some starling revelations, the Board of senior AIIMS doctors who conducted the autopsy on Sunanda Pushkar, concluded that the post mortem suggests that it was a case of ‘sudden unnatural death’.
However, Dr Sudhir Gupta, Autopsy Board AIIMS ruled out the presence of poison in her body. Dr Guota also mentioned that there were i njury marks on Sunanda’s body.
Her remians have been handed over to Shahsi Tharoor who is in the ambulance with Sunanda’s body.
2.15 pm: The post mortem of Sunanda Puskhar’s body has been completed at AIIMS and her remains handed over to husband Shashi Tharoor. The last rites of Pushkar are likely to be conducted at the Lodhi Road crematorium later on Saturday evening.
Sources said some of Pushkar’s family members, including her brother and son Shiv Menon, visited AIIMS where the autopsy was conducted by a three-member panel of senior doctors.
12.30 pm: A board of three doctors, led by Dr Sudhir Gupta, on Saturday began conducting the post mortem of Sunanda Puskhar, wife of minister of state for Human Resources Development Shashi Tharoor, who was found dead in a Delhi hotel room. All proceedings are being videographed.
Earlier, a day after Sunanda was found dead, police suspected it could be a case of accidental overdose (accidental poisoning) of medicine leading to failure of respiratory system.
They have been informed by forensic experts in the absence of normal tell-tale signs of suicide. This possibility is quite high.
If somebody consumes overdose of anti-depressants, the person, all of a sudden, discovers he/she can’t breathe since it leads to paralysis of lung muscles.
Police sources said on Saturday at the time when her body was discovered, she was on the bed, in the normal sleeping posture, wearing a night suit (top and pyjama). They said she had covered her body with a blanket, but did not cover her face.
“Nothing unusual was found inside the room to suggest there were any signs of her struggle,” police sources had said, adding, there were some blue marks on her body, but forensic experts had said earlier, sometimes it happened naturally after a person’s death.
