Pakistani journalist Mehr Tarar is likely to be questioned in connection with the murder of Sunanda Pushkar, wife of Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, police said on Thursday.
"Tarar is a relevant person in the case... If necessary, she will be examined," said Delhi Police Commissioner B.S. Bassi.
Tarar's friendship with Tharoor had reportedly led to a row between Tharoor and Pushkar.
Delhi Police constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT) after registering a murder case against unknown people on January 1. Pushkar was found dead in a luxury hotel room on January 17, 2014 under mysterious circumstances.
