A Delhi court today transferred the Sunanda Pushkar death case, in which her husband and Congress leader Shashi Tharoor have been charge-sheeted for abetting her suicide, to a special court designated to try lawmakers.
Metropolitan Magistrate Dharmendra Singh transferred the case to Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Samar Vishal, who will take up the matter on May 28.
The Delhi Police had on May 14 convicted Tharoor, the Lok Sabha MP representing Thiruvananthapuram, of abetting Pushkar’s suicide and told a city court that he should be summoned as an accused in the four-and-half-year-old case, claiming there was enough evidence against him.
