According to reports, Narayan has revealed that both Sunanda and Shashi Tharoor were uncomfortable with each other for months, before her death. Sunanda was upset with Tharoor's conduct and behaviour as the two fought on many personal and financial matters.
Narayan was interrogated at an undisclosed location in South Delhi for nearly five hours. The police has questioned him at least twice earlier. Singh, who was in Himachal Pradesh, arrived in Delhi on Thursday morning after investigators asked to join the probe.

Tharoor is reportedly in Kerala, at an ayurvedic clinic undergoing treatment. He is likely to be discharged on Friday.
Sunanda, who married Tharoor in 2010, had checked into The Leela Hotel in Chanakyapuri two days before her death on January 17, 2014. Tharoor's aides said the couple had checked into the luxury hotel because of renovation work at his Delhi bungalow.
It is also learnt that Narayan told the cops that he was with Pushkar at the hotel on January 17 when she asked him to rest at the official residence of Tharoor, then union minister and bring back a white outfit that she planned to wear for a press conference.
