Tharoor quote tweeted her tweet. He said that PM Modi had said that there are no detention centres in the country. "But Mr Modi says there are no detention centres. And Mr Modi is an honourable man," he wrote.

And Mr Tharoor is an honourable man," the party wrote on its Twitter handle along with a news piece which says that 15 injury marks were found on various parts of Sunanda Pushkar's body -- forearm, arms, leg, etc.
