Tharoor allowed to visit Geneva to visit Kofi Annan’s family

Patiala House Court on Monday (August 20) allowed Congress leader Shashi Tharoor to visit Geneva, Switzerland, to meet the family of former United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan who died on August 18.

Shashi Tharoor, who was once the deputy secretary general of the world body, was well-known in those circles, as well to Annan.

On July 5 the court had granted anticipatory bail to Tharoor, accused in the Sunanda Pushkar death case. The Court granted the bail on Rs 1 lakh surety with another condition that Tharoor will not leave India without the permission.
