New Delhi: A Delhi Court on Thursday adjourned to March 7 a case against Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, accused of abetting suicide of Sunanda Pushkar, his wife.
Special Judge Arun Bhardwaj adjourned the hearing after Delhi Police sought more time to prepare its argument on the issue of framing of charges against the parliamentarian.
Tharoor’s lawyer Vikas Pahwa told the court there are some discrepancies in documents provided by the police in the case.
Meanwhile, Tharoor moved an application seeking to travel to Bahrain and Qatar. The court said it will hear the Congress leader’s plea seeking permission for foreign visit on Friday.
On May 14, 2018, police submitted the written record against Tharoor under many sections of the Indian penal code (IPC) concerning encouragement of suicide and cruelty to better half.
Pushkar, 51, died under mysterious circumstances at a building in south Old Delhi on Jan seventeen, 2014, days when she alleged that Tharoor was having an affair with a Pakistani journalist.
