Sunanda Pushkar Tharoor, wife of Indian Minister Shashi Tharoor, has been found dead at a New Delhi hotel
The wife of an Indian government minister has been found dead in a five-star new Delhi hotel following reports she had hacked into her husband's Twitter account and published a series of romantic messages between him and a Pakistani journalist.
The body of Sunanda Pushkar Tharoor, 52, was discovered by authorities at the plush Leela Palace hotel. Authorities say they are not currently treated her death as suspicious.
Her death comes just one day after she and husband Shashi Tharoor, released a statement on Facebook claiming they were still happily married and intended to stay together.
Mr Tharoor's personal assistant Abhinav Kumar told reporters: 'She was lying in bed. There were no signs of any foul play or any struggle. She had no sign of poisoning or anything'.
Mrs Pushkar Tharoor, had reportedly hacked the Twitter account of her husband, who is India's junior human resources minister, and published romantic messages apparently between him and journalist Mehr Tarar to his two million followers.
Mr Tharoor, known as 'Minister Twitter' for his love of the social messaging site - was left acutely embarrassed after the messages appeared on his feed.
They suggested to his more than two million followers that he was in the throes of a passionate affair with Ms Tarar, a high profile journalist.
Mr Tharoor, 57, quickly deleted the tweets, denying he had been having an affair and claiming his account had been 'hacked'.
But Mrs Tharoor, subsequently told two Indian newspapers that she had published the private messages between him and Ms Tarar.
Shashi Tharoor was left red-faced after the messages appeared on his Twitter feed suggesting he was having an affair with Pakistani journalist Mehr Tarar
