New Delhi: Congress leader and MP from Kerala Shashi Tharoor had accused Delhi Police and claimed that police had attempted to implicate him and a domestic help in the murder of his wife Sunanda Pushkar.
In a letter to Delhi Police Commissioner BS Bassi dated November 12 and accessed by the media Wednesday, Tharoor urged the police chief to take action against the concerned officer.
Congress leader said that four Delhi Police officers interrogated his domestic help Narayan Singh last month – for 16 hours on November 7 and for 14 hours on November 8.
Tharoor had alleged that Narayan Singh was “repeatedly physically assaulted by one of your officers on both days.
He also said, “Worse, that officer used the traumatic physical assault to try and intimidate Narayan into ‘confessing’ that he and I murdered my wife.”
In his letter, Tharoor said, “As you graciously agreed, such conduct is completely unacceptable and illegal. It also amounts to the use of physical coercion in the attempt to frame an innocent man. I would request you to take immediate and appropriate action against such unlawful misconduct of the officer concerned. My staff and I have always made ourselves available for any kind of inquiry and investigation but the recent behaviour of the officers towards my staff is a matter of serious concern to any law abiding citizen. Please look into the matter personally and ensure that the unvarnished truth comes out in this case.”
Tharoor said he had “complete trust and faith” in Delhi Police and that he was committed to “fully cooperating with the investigations to ensure the timely completion of the inquiry.”
