Tharoor was booked by the police under Sections 498A (husband or relative of husband of a woman subjecting her to cruelty) and 306 of the Indian Penal Code and the Delhi Police was now seeking to add charges including 306 (abetment of suicide) against him.

Congress leader was never arrested in the case and he was granted bail on July 5, 2018.

During the arguments, senior advocate Vikas Pahwa, appearing for Tharoor, told the court that a SIT investigation completely exonerated the politician of all the charges levelled against him.

Special Judge Geetanjali Goel passed the order in a virtual hearing.

Tharoor thanked the judge saying it was “an absolute torture for last seven-and-a-half-years” and that it was a “great relief”.

Meanwhile, her wife Pushkar was found dead under mysterious circumstances in a suite of a luxury hotel in Delhi on January 17, 2014.
