“I am not a proxy for Tharoor,” insisted Dubai-based businesswoman Sunanda Pushkar, in a statement quoted in local press reports.
Pushkar – a “friend”, and alleged girlfriend, of Tharoor – is central to the IPL scandal that brought down the former minister’s political career. Revelations that Pushkar received free equity in the IPL Kochi team raised eyebrows.
While Tharoor denied any wrongdoing, he resigned amid the scandal. The Kochi team will reportedly be based in Tharoor’s home state of Kerala, the BBC reported.
