Latest News A Delhi court on Wednesday reserved its order on Congress leader Shashi Tharoor's anticipatory bail plea for Thursday in a case related to his wife Sunanda Pushkar's death.

The Thiruvananthapuram MP has already been summoned as an accused in the case.

Special Judge Arvind Kumar reserved the judgment after the Delhi Police opposed Tharoor's anticipatory bail plea, saying he might flee the country.

The Congress leader had moved the court on Wednesday, seeking anticipatory bail.

In his plea, Tharoor had submitted that the chargesheet in the case was filed and the Special Investigation Team (SIT) had categorically stated that the probe was concluded and that his custodial interrogation was not required.

The court had summoned the Congress leader as an accused in the case on June 5, asking him to

appear before it on July 7 and observing that there were sufficient grounds to proceed against him.

Pushkar was found dead in a luxury hotel room in the city on the night of January 17, 2014.
