New Delhi, Jun 5 (DC): A Delhi court on Tuesday summoned Congress leader Shashi Tharoor in the death case of Sunanda Pushkar.
The Patiala House Court has asked Tharoor to appear before it on July 7.
The Delhi Police had on May 14 accused Shashi Tharoor of abetting Sunanda Pushkar's suicide and told the court that he should be summoned as an accused in the four-and-half year-old case. The police also claimed that there was sufficient evidence against Tharoor.
Nearly 3,000-page charge-sheet filed on May 14 by the Delhi police explained why the death case is a case of abetment to suicide and cruelty.
The charge-sheet has named Shashi Tharoor as the only accused while also alleging that he had subjected his wife, Sunanda Pushkar, to cruelty and had urged the court to summon the Lok Sabha MP from Thiruvananthapuram.
51-year-old, Sunanda Pushkar was found dead at her suite in Leela Hotel in New Delhi on the night of January 17, 2014, days after she publicly accused her husband of having an affair with a Pakistani journalist.

Tue, Jun 05 2018The case is based on a poem written by Sunnada "All I want is death" and this is the piece of evidence. I what would happen to Majroo Sultanpuri, Javed Akhtar, Gulzar or other song writers who wrote so many sad songs for movies. Remembering these songs and the death of heroines so many people died or did suicide. So all these writers so write sad songs and cause death of film actress in films and real life should also be brought to court. It is a pity that our police have no work to do today ,only witch hunting!.
