Pushkar death case hearing on March 7

New Delhi, february 21

A Delhi Court on Thursday adjourned to March 7 a case against Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, accused of abetting suicide of Sunanda Pushkar, his wife. 

Special Judge Arun Bhardwaj adjourned the hearing after Delhi Police sought more time to prepare its argument on the issue of framing of charges against the parliamentarian.  Tharoor’s lawyer told the court there are some discrepancies in papers provided by the police.

Meanwhile, Tharoor moved an application seeking to travel to Bahrain and Qatar. The court said it will hear the Congress leader’s plea seeking permission for foreign visit on  Friday. — IANS
