The BJP leader moved the fresh plea in his pending petition seeking a court-monitored CBI-led special investigation (SIT) probe into Pushkar’s death.

Earlier, a bench of justices G S Sistani and Chander Shekhar, during the hearing of Tharoor’s stepson Shiv Menon’s plea for his impleadment in the BJP leader’s petition, had expressed concern over failure of the police to file a charge sheet in the case even after three-and-a-half years.

The court had asked Delhi Police to make its stand clear by August 1.

Pushkar was found dead under mysterious circumstances in a suite of a five-star hotel in south Delhi on the night of January 17, 2014.
