Special Investigating Team (SIT), investigating the murder of Sunanda Pushkar, wife of Congress leader Shashi Tharoor, today asked the Federal Bureau of Investigation to provide the exact cause of her death, according to an NDTV report.

The SIT went to the US in order to meet the FBI officials.

Pushkar was found dead in Delhi hotel in January 2014, not long after she had publicly accused her husband, Shashi Tharoor, of having an affair with a Pakistani journalist.

On 15 January, NDTV reported, citing an as yet unpublished AIIMS report, that Pushkar had been poisoned.

AIIMS had commissioned a forensic laboratory of the FBI, the apex investigation agency of the US, to examine the viscera samples taken from Pushkar's body. And based on the FBI lab's findings, AIIMS has reportedly concluded that she died of poisoning.
