An interesting point of view...................
(I love the Caravan magazine's reporting style..but this is not from Caravan)
I couldn't paste the article properly..here is the link: Indian media failed Sunanda Pushkar, and now she’s dead – Quartz
Indian media failed Sunanda Pushkar, and now she’s dead
By Rahul Bhatia 2 hours ago

On 1/15, Sunanda Pushkar, the wife of Indian minister Shashi Tharoor, took to his Twitter account to post lovesick messages that she claimed were written to him by Mehr Tarar, a Pakistani journalist.
+
On 1/16, the Economic Times carried a sensational disclosure by her: “I took upon myself the crimes of this man during the [Indian Premier League].” In 2010, Tharoor had resigned from his post in the government amid accusations that Pushkar and he had helped a new franchise in the lucrative cricket league.
+
On 1/17, Pushkar was found dead in a hotel room at the Leela, a hotel in south Delhi. It wasn’t long before Twitter, a wellspring of angst for India’s most high-profile journalists, was suggested as one of the possible reasons behind Pushkar’s demise. One channel asked: Was it suicide or murder? After Pushkar published the first messages, Tharoor claimed his account had been hacked. Twitterers, as they do with these things, rallied immediately:
+
and:
+
Indian media was less critical about its own practices. Shortly after the Economic Times piece, the news channel NDTV got Pushkar on the phone for an interview. They didn’t ask her about the “crimes of this man.” At one point during the live phone conversation, when Pushkar said she regretted choosing silence during the cricket controversy, the interviewer changed the subject, “Ma’am, you do realize you’re live on NDTV? Also, aren’t you worried the BJP [the party in opposition] will take up this issue?” The channel’s concern for the minister’s career, not the details of Pushkar’s revelation, was dismaying.
+
There are plenty of other examples of journalists who shirked their duties. In the minutes after Pushkar’s death became public knowledge, Barkha Dutt, NDTV’s group editor, said that Pushkar had told spoken with her on 1/15 about issues including Tarar and the cricket league. (“…not really private [conversation] actually, as [Pushkar] repeated verbatim to Express, Economic Times,” Dutt tweeted.
+
Dutt said she advised Pushkar to speak with a confidante instead. A celebrated journalist known for intrusive reporting at the scene of major incidents, Dutt took the editorial judgment to ignore Pushkar’s frank revelations about a sitting union minister.
+
On its part, CNN-IBN brought out Sagarika Ghose, a senior editor, who had met Pushkar socially. She said that Pushkar had, “off and on, over the past month, spoken about this particular liaison [between] her husband Shashi Tharoor and the Pakistani journalist… she was very unhappy about it.” Yet, until Pushkar put out the messages by herself, few people knew about the brewing trouble.
+
Media outlets occasionally hold back information, of course. There are often debatable, yet justifiable, reasons for doing so. But the manner in which Pushkar’s admissions were addressed and ignored by some of India’s most prominent journalists raises, once again, serious questions about seemingly cozy relations between reporters and the political class. They had their chance to ask Pushkar about the “crimes.”
+
Now they don’t.
+
In the process, the media have added more fuel to the popular belief that journalism in India isn’t done in the public interest as much as in the interest of the rich, the powerful, and the political.

RIP... Tragic end.
Either this is suicide or murder, but she was successful Businesswoman. There is definitely hidden face behind this incident.
She (Pushkar) was declared 50 million pound hooker by Modi.

She was indeed slut and mentally unstable. Accusing Pak journo of having affair with her husband while both live thousands of miles away from each other and on top of that blaming ISI like typical Bharti slut.

By reporting such things, you're making it easier for the mods to keep the threads clean. How is it that you think demeaning another Woman will bring back honour to a Woman who's wrongfully accused of things she did not do?

Editor's note: See more coverage on our Indian sister networkCNN-IBN
New Delhi (CNN) -- The death of an Indian minister's wife after a public controversy in which she accused her husband of having an affair was unnatural and sudden, a hospital spokesman said Saturday.
Sunanda Pushkar's death came just days after Indian media reported that she had hacked into her husband Shashi Tharoor's Twitter account and tweeted that he was having an affair with a Pakistani journalist.
Pushkar died in her room in a five-star hotel in New Delhi, CNN-IBN reported Friday. Her body was taken to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences for examination.
"The postmortem has been completed, we have sent samples for toxicology analysis to rule out poisoning," Dr. Sudhir Gupta, head of the autopsy board at the hospital, told CNN.
dismissed the affair allegation in an article on the New Delhi Television website.
On Thursday, a day before Pushkar's death was revealed, Tarar described the purported tweets as "wild allegations."
"Her tweets to me are so crazy that all I can do is laugh," Tarar said.
After Pushkar's death was announced the next day, Tarar expressed shock on her Twitter account.
"I just woke up and read this. I'm absolutely shocked. This is too awful for words. So tragic I don't know what to say. Rest in peace, Sunanda," she tweeted.
Tarar spoke to CNN on Friday, expressing grief and sorrow over Pushkar's death.
"I have been up the whole night, frozen in one spot, unable to eat or even have a sip of water," Tarar said.
"She had a Twitter fight with me, and then she died. I didn't even get a chance to call her up, and clear the air," she added. "She seemed larger than life, always smiling, and the manner in which she died would haunt me for a long, long time."
Tarar also said the allegations of an affair were false.
"I had met the minister twice in my entire life and always in the presence of other people," Tarar said. "We were in touch until June and then it was reduced to an e-mail or two in weeks."
Pushkar, a businesswoman from Dubai, and Tharoor married in 2010. The couple was active in New Delhi's glamorous social circles.
Tharoor is an Indian minister for human resource and development, and a member of parliament. He is also the former minister of state for external affairs and former United Nations under-secretary-general.
CNN's Sumnima Udas reported from New Delhi, Lateef Mungin wrote in Atlanta and Laura Smith-Spark in London. CNN's Michael Martinez, Aliza Kassim and Jessica King contributed to this report.

RIP. If one reads her bio her high profile life was after she got married to Tharoor. Most of her life, she grew up the hard way having faced ups and downs throughout her life but achieved much adapting herself in difficult circumstances. Respect to her.

Problem of Indians is that even if a dog die they blame it on ISI tomorrow they will blame their birth on ISI too it was a small issue but Indian media as usual went crazy on this because they are nothing but some desperate people seeking attention and used most stupid and idiotic acts to do it and now this resulted in death of a lady so now file an FIR and nominate ISI chief in that
