Amar Singh quizzed in Sunanda case

New Delhi, January 28

Politician Amar Singh was today questioned for nearly two hours by a special team of the Delhi Police probing the Sunanda Pushkar murder case after he had recently claimed she had spoken to him about the IPL controversy a couple of days before her death.

Sources said Singh was asked about what Sunanda had told him regarding the IPL controversy and about allegedly taking the blame for Shashi Tharoor.

The former SP leader, who has been maintaining that he was a close friend of the Tharoors, was also asked about the relations between the couple and whether Sunanda had discussed anything about Tharoor's alleged affair with Pakistan journalist Mehr Tarar.

Singh said he was questioned for two hours by the Special Investigation Team but refused to divulge any details. "Whatever I knew about Sunanda, I have told the police and now I will not say anything since the matter has been taken into cognisance by SIT," he said. — PTI
