New Delhi, Aug 20: While arguing a case regarding the death of Sunanda Pushkar, the public prosecutor has said, though the cause of death was poisoning as per post-mortem, there were 12 hours to at least four days old injury marks on the body that gives a clear evidence that the victim may have been beaten up repeatedly.
The case was standing out as this is the first time the court was hearing a case on the framing of charges against Shashi Tharoor in the death of Pushkar.
The prosecutor also added that Shashi Tharoor and Sunanda Pushkar were married for 3 years and 4 months and this was the third marriage of both parties.
While unnatural death within 7 years of marriage is suspicious, Shashi Tharoor has been charged under Sections 498-A (husband or his relative subjecting a woman to cruelty) and 306 (abetment of suicide) of the IPC, but has not been arrested in the case.
