Sunanda Pushkar death: Special designated court to hear the case today
The Delhi Police has sought
that Tharoor be summoned as an accused, claiming there was sufficient evidence
against him
Current Affairs News: A special court, designated to try
lawmakers in regard to Sunanda
Pushkar death case, will on Monday consider Delhi Police's charge sheet
against Congress MP and Pushkar's
husband Shashi Tharoor.
The police has sought that Tharoor be
summoned as an accused, claiming there was sufficient evidence against him.
Earlier on May 24, a Delhi Court, which was hearing the Sunanda Pushkar death case, transferred the matter to the Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate
(ACMM), Samar Vishal.
"Since he (Tharoor) is a sitting
Member of Parliament, the matter is being sent to the special designated court
for politicians, that is ACMM Samar Vishal. Matter will be taken up on May
28," the court said.
The Delhi
Police had on May 14 filed a charge sheet in the court, in which
they named Tharoor as an accused, under sections 306 (Abetment of suicide) and
498A (Husband or relative of husband of a woman subjecting her to cruelty) of
the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
Tharoor, however, dismissed the charge
sheet filed by Delhi Police as
"preposterous".
Sunanda was found dead under mysterious
circumstances in a suite of a five-star hotel in Delhi on the night of January
17, 2014.
