A Delhi court reserved its order till July 2 on a point of framing charges against Congress MP Shashi Tharoor in the case relating to the death of his wife and businesswoman Sunanda Pushkar.
Special CBI Judge Geetanjali Goel reserved the “Order on Charge” on April 12, 2021.
Senior Advocate Vikas Pahwa, representing Tharoor, while relying on the statement of Shiv Menon, had argued, “The only son of the deceased clearly said that Tharoor had nothing to do with the death, but my friend (Prosecutor) wants to frame charges on him.”
Sunanda Pushkar was found dead in a five-star hotel suite in Delhi on January 17, 2014. Delhi Police booked Tharoor in May 2018 for abetment to suicide and marital cruelty charges under Sections 306 and 498A of the Indian Penal Code.
