Sunanda Pushkar, wife of Indian minister Shashi Tharoor has been found dead in a hotel according to reports in the Indian media. Her dead body was found in suspicious condition in room number 345 of The Leela Palace, a hotel in New Delhi.
The couple had checked into the five-star hotel on Thursday. There were no visible injury marks and nothing to suggest poisoning either, said Deepak Mishra, special commissioner (law and order).
Her body was found on the bed, with no signs of struggle, the police added.
The minister was out all day busy in the party general meeting and he found Pushkar dead when he returned to the hotel in the evening.
The wife of Union Minister was in news for the past two days due to a Twitter controversy involving her husband and a Pakistani journalist.
Pakistani journalist Mehr Tarar was being accused by Pushkar of "stalking" her husband and of being an ISI agent.
The couple then issued a media statement clearing the "unseemly controversy" over "unauthorised tweets" and said on Thursday they were happily married and intended to stay together.
Pushkar was also caught-up in controversies due to her stake in IPL team Kochi Tuskers back in 2010.
Before getting married to Tharoor, she was a sales director in a Dubai-based real estate company.
Pushkar had a 21-year-old son from her second husband Sujith Menon, a Kerala businessman who died in a road accident in 1997.
Before Sujith, she was married to Sanjay Raina, a Kashmiri whom she divorced.
