"We can only say which substance caused the poisoning after further investigation," Bassi said.
The police also said that Shashi Tharoor will be questioned.
Pushkar was found dead in her hotel room number 345 of the Leela Palace in New Delhi's Chanakyapuri. Her body was found by her husband Shashi Tharoor.
