Jaipur:

Congress leader Shashi Tharoor is in Jaipur to take part in the literature festival (LitFest) in conversation with writer Amrita Tripathi and economist Mihir Sharma.

Mr Tharoor who flew into Jaipur last night will be at the LitFest over the next two days.

He was recently questioned by the Delhi police for over four hours over the mysterious death of his wife Sunanda Pushkar in January last year. Delhi Police chief BS Bassi said that another round of questioning with the politician is likely.

Mr Tharoor has said he is "stunned" by the police's conclusion that his wife was killed. Mr Tharoor reportedly discussed "marital trouble" in his questioning by the police, said sources.

The police launched a murder inquiry in January this year after months of a public debate on whether Ms Pushkar had committed suicide or died of an accidental overdose.
