But on a cold January night in 2014, one such corridor led to a room that would become the center of a mystery still whispered about years later. Inside lay the body of Sunanda Pushkar—socialite, businesswoman, wife of one of India’s most high-profile politicians. Her death was sudden, shocking, and wrapped in layers of intrigue.
