Sunanda death: SIT to send viscera samples to London for tests
New Delhi, Jan 11 (IBNS): The Special Investigation Team (SIT), set up to investigate Congress MP Shashi Tharoor's wife's mysterious death, will send Sunanda Pushkar's viscera samples to London for forensic tests under the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT).
"A report by AIIMS says that Indian laboratories cannot detect radioactive poisons including Thallium, Polonium 210, Nerium Oleander, Snake Venom, Photolabile poisons and heroin," CNN-IBN quoting Delhi Police sources reported.
The fresh twist to Sunanda Pushkar's death case came after Delhi police registered a case under section 302 of the IPC on Tuesday following a medical report that Pushkar died of suspected poisoning.
The AIIMS medical board, who conducted the first autopsy in February, suspected drug poisoning.
Later, a report by the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL), which conducted the second report, said there were not enough drugs in her system to cause death.
CFSL had examined Sunanda’s viscera in March this year.
But police considered it as inconclusive and then sent the CFSL report to AIIMS for their second opinion.
According to media reports, a panel of AIIMS doctors submitted a fresh report to police on September 30 saying Sunanda Pushkar died of poisoning.
The fresh findings by the three-member panel of doctors were prepared on the basis of a report given by the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL).
