It now appears that all was not well between Congress leader Shashi Tharoor and his wife Sunanda Pushkar days before her mysterious death despite their joint statement to the contrary. br According to a statement by senior journalist Nalini Singh, recorded before a subdivisional magistrate (SDM), the couple had been squabbling for a week before Pushkar's death and had also got into scuffles over Tharoor's alleged affair with Pakistani journalist Mehr Tarar.
