    All I pray for is death, Sunanda wrote to Tharoor

    "I have no desire to live...all I pray for is death," Sunanda Pushkar wrote in an e-mail to her husband Shashi Tharoor nine days before she was found dead in a luxury hotel room in Delhi, police told a court in the national capital. Sunanda's e-mail and messages have been taken as a "dying declaration", Delhi Police told Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Samar Vishal.

    Sunanda's death was due to poisoning: Police to court

    The police also said that Sunanda's death was due to poisoning and 27 Alprax tablets were found in her room but it was not clear how many pills she had consumed. Vishal today reserved the order for June 5 on whether to summon Tharoor as an accused in the case. The Delhi Police had on May 14 accused the Tharoor of abetting Pushkar's suicide.

    Couple's domestic help named key witness

    The police urged the court on May 14 that Tharoor should be summoned, claiming there was sufficient evidence against him. In a nearly 3,000-page charge-sheet, the police named Tharoor as the only accused while also alleging that he had subjected his wife to cruelty. The couple's domestic servant, Narayan Singh, has been named one of the key witnesses in the case.

    Tharoor charged under IPC Section 498A

    The Congress leader has been charged under sections 498 A (husband or his relative subjecting a woman to cruelty) and 306 (abetment of suicide) of the IPC. The suite of the hotel, where Pushkar had died, was sealed by the police on the night of her death for investigation. An FIR was registered by Delhi Police on January 1, 2015, against unknown persons.

    Pushkar subjected to mental and physical cruelty, says charge-sheet

    Pushkar was found dead on the night of January 17, 2014. The charge-sheet, which includes several annexures including medical reports, said that Pushkar died within four years of her marriage with Tharoor. The couple had entered the wedlock on August 22, 2010. According to prosecution sources, the charge-sheet has also mentioned that Pushkar was allegedly subjected to mental as well as physical cruelty.

    Subramanian Swamy's plea for SIT probe

    The Delhi High Court had last year on October 26 dismissed BJP leader Subramanian Swamy's plea seeking court-monitored SIT probe into the death of Pushkar, terming his PIL as a "textbook example of a political interest litigation", instead of public interest litigation or a PIL.
