Mr Tharoor, former Union minister, who is currently on bail in the case, was chargesheeted by Delhi Police under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), pertaining to cruelty and abetment of suicide. Special Judge Geetanjali Goyal recently had kept the order reserved after prosecution and defence counsel concluded their arguments on the issue of framing of charges. Public prosecutor stressed that Ms Pushkar has undergone mental cruelty which led to her bad health. Public Prosecutor also argued that it was not an accidental death and relied on the post-mortem report which suggests that the cause of death is poisoning which could be oral or injected. Prosecutor also said due to the mental cruelty caused to Ms Pushkar, her health became worse. The prosecutor further added that Ms Pushkar was earlier not facing any health issue but problems began due to "stress and betrayal".More Related News
