The apology on Tuesday clarified that Tharoor had merely said that Sunanda’s death was not a murder.The newspaper has published a note both in the original report and the corrected report on Tuesday, stating that the error had occurred due to Tharoor’s “open-ended†claim that Sunanda’s death was not a murder. The newspaper also apologizes to Tharoor, admitting that they did make a mistake. Tweet Follow @thenewsminute
