Sunanda in touch with three ministers

Also on chat mode with two politicians

GN Bureau | April 16, 2010



Sunanda Pushkar, in news for her Rs 70 crore sweat equity in the Kochi franchise of the IPL, has been in Dubai but very much in touch with three union ministers -- apart from of course her "close friend", minister of state for external affairs Shashi Tharoor.

Moreover, she has also been chatting on the internet with two politicians to figure out the fallout of the IPL affair.

She had left Delhi right on the day of the controversy broke, on April 13.

Meanwhile, Indian security agencies and DRI seluths have been monitoring her phone calls to political personalities, according to insiders.
