Police have accused Tharoor of abetment to suicide. The trial court has granted Tharoor bail in the case. Pushkar, who married Tharoor in 2010, was found dead under mysterious circumstances in a room at the Leela Palace Hotel in Delhi on 17 January, 2014. Swamy had approached the top court against the Delhi High Court’s order that dismissed his plea for a court-monitored probe into Pushkar’s death. On 26 October, 2017, the Delhi High Court had dismissed Swamy’s plea while terming it as a “political interest litigation”.
