 "Sunanda Pushkar death case: Delhi HC dismisses plea challenging cancellation of Shashi Tharoor's bail")
New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Tuesday dismissed a plea seeking cancellation of Shashi Tharoor’s anticipatory bail granted by a trial court in the Sunanda Pushkar death case. A bench of Justice RK Gauba dismissed the plea filed by lawyer Deepak Anand challenging the Congress MP’s move to bypass a magisterial court and directly approach a sessions court for anticipatory bail in the death case of his wife Sunanda Pushkar.

Delhi Police had also filed a status report in the matter. Pushkar was found dead in a suite of a luxury hotel in the city on the night of 17 January 2014. The couple was staying in the hotel, as the official bungalow of Shashi Tharoor was being renovated at that time.
