Sunanda case: Swamy writes to Home Minister for setting up SIT

May 14, 2016 15:13

BJP MP Subramanian Swamy has sought Home Minister Rajnath Singh's intervention in setting up a court-monitored SIT to take forward the probe into mysterious death of Sunanda Pushkar, wife of Congress leader Shashi Tharoor.

In a letter to Singh, Swamy was severely critical of the Delhi police alleging that it was dragging its feet even on elementary steps necessary in criminal investigation when it has been established that poison was found in her body and she died an unnatural death.

The Rajya Sabha member, who has been pushing for speedy investigation into the case and had targeted Tharoor, said it was the duty of the police to take the probe to its logical conclusion but the investigators are yet to move anywhere near filing a charge sheet.
