What Was The Sunanda Murder Case?
Sunanda Pushkar, 51, was found dead in a suite of a luxury hotel in Delhi on the night of January 17, 2014, while Shashi Tharoor was attending a Congress meet in Delhi along with then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, the Gandhis and the entire Congress leadership.
The Tharoors had moved into the hotel because the MP’s home was being renovated. Shashi Tharoor was charged with abetment to suicide and cruelty by the Delhi Police.
The Congress leader, seeking his discharge, had told the court that evidence showed the death of Sunanda Pushkar was neither a suicide nor homicide.The death should be considered an accident, he had said, as Ms Pushkar had been struggling with various medical ailments at the time of her death.For years Tharoor’s political rivals were targeting him over this case which has been officially closed today by the court.
