Supreme Court today sought the response from Delhi Police on a plea filed by BJP leader Subramanian Swamy seeking a SIT probe into the death of Congress MP Shashi Tharoor’s wife Sunanda Pushkar.
A bench of Justices Arun Mishra and AM Khanwilkar issued a notice to the police on Swamy’s plea, leaving open the question of maintainability of the petition. The court was hearing Swamy’s appeal against the Delhi High Court’s October 26 verdict dismissing his plea for a probe into Pushkar’s death by a court-monitored Special Investigation Team (SIT).
Sunanda Pushkar was found dead under mysterious circumstances in a suite of a five-star hotel in Delhi on the night of January 17, 2014.
