hhhhmmmm....this is an indictment !  :-[

Indian minister Shashi Tharoor, whose wife was found dead in a Delhi hotel room on Friday,

has called for a swift investigation so that the truth "emerges at the earliest".  :-[

                     

Mr Tharoor, a former UN diplomat, was forced to resign from his first ministerial position in 2010

amid controversy over his involvement in bidding for a cricket team.
Ms Pushkar had allegedly received a free stake in the Indian Premier League franchise
he was bidding for.
