Shashi Tharoor admitted to AIIMS after chest pain

January 18, 2014

sunanda_shashi_TNew Delhi, Jan 18: Union Minister Shashi Tharoor, whose wife Sunanda Pushkar was found dead last night, was admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) after he suffered a "cardiac condition" in the wee hours today.

57-year-old Tharoor was rushed to the hospital at around 3 AM after he complained of severe chest pain, anxiety and palpitation, sources at the AIIMS said.

The Union Minister was admitted to the ICU of the cardiothoracic centre of the AIIMS and a number of investigations including ECG have been carried out on him.

Doctors said he was brought to the hospital with a "cardiac condition" but he is stable now.

A team of doctors are monitoring him at the ICU, the sources said.

Sunanda, who was upset over an alleged extra-marital affair between her minister husband Tharoor and a Pakistani journalist, was found dead in a five-star hotel room last night.

The body of 52-year-old Pushkar, a woman entrepreneur who married Tharoor in August 2010, was found in mysterious circumstances in luxury Leela Palace hotel in South Delhi.

Police sources speaking on condition of anonymity said they suspect it could be a case of suicide.

Delhi Police spokesman Rajan Bhagat had said inquest proceedings have been initiated by the sub-divisional magistrate of the area. Any death within seven years of marriage is legally required to be investigated by the sub-divisional magistrate.

Pushkar and Tharoor were at the centre of a raging controversy in the last two days when reports emerged that she was upset over reported text and tweet messages between her husband and Mehr Tarar, Pakistani journalist.

Kolkata, Jul 20: As many as 13 migrant workers who came to their native village in West Bengal's Bankura district were denied entry at the quarantine centre by the locals.

As a result, the workers had to set up a tent accommodation at a nearby Beraban forest area and lived together in a single tent there, without adequate food, drinking water and basic facilities.

The migrant labourers came from Rajasthan after four months of COVID-19 lockdown which was imposed nationwide on March 25 to contain the spread of coronavirus.

When they arrived at Jagadalla village in the Bankura district and tried to put up at a village school building for two weeks self-quarantine, angry villagers vehemently protested against their entry fearing Covid infections in their village.

Sources said that local police and panchayat members also failed to make the villagers understand the fact that if the labourers strictly stayed in self-quarantine there would be no chance of any further infection.

"The school is located quite within our neighbourhood. If they stay there and tested positive, they might spread Covid infections in the village. We cannot allow them to stay in the school building," said Aniket Goswami, a villager.
