Sunanda Pushkar, Union minister Shashi Tharoor's wife found dead at The Leela Palace Hotel in Delhi. She (1st January 1962 - 17th January 2014) was a sales director in the Dubai-based TECOM Investments, and a co-owner of Rendezvous Sports WorldOn 16 January 2014, Pushkar published from her husband Shashi Tharoor's Twitter account, messages allegedly sent by a Pakistani journalist, Mehr Tarar to Tharoor, proclaiming Tarar's love for Tharoor. Pushkar's tweets addressing Tarar as an ISI agent stalking Tharoor snowballed into a full-blown Twitter war, with Tarar responding to Pushkar's tweets and threatening to sue Pushkar for calling her an ISI agent. Tharoor tried to downplay the incident by stating that his account had been hacked, which Pushkar denied saying she had only tweeted from Tharoor's Twitter account.
