Big Win For Swamy In Sunanda Case As HC Raps Delhi Police Over Delay In Investigation, Issues Ultimatum

The Delhi High Court has rapped the Delhi Police over the delay in investigation in regards to investigation in Sunanda Pushkar case.

The Delhi Police has submitted before the court that delay is not from their side, but is due to many technical investigations involved which have to be done by the AIIMS and the CBI.

Averring that the reputation of the Delhi Police is at stake, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and senior advocate Subramanian Swamy on Wednesday stated that Delhi Police wants to protect its own people in connection with the Sunanda Pushkar death case.

Swamy, who had demanded a CBI probe into the case, asserted that if investigating agencies conclude that death was due to poison then it doesn't matter what type of poison it was.

Issuing an ultimatum, the Delhi HC directed the city police, "if you have anything new or different then come within two weeks and if you can't, then we will look into it".

Earlier on August 19, Delhi's Patiala House Court pulled up the Delhi police for delaying the de-sealing of the hotel suite, in which Sunanda Pushkar was found dead They also asked the Police as to why it had taken two months to inform the hotel that they would need more time.

Swamy on 6 July this year had filed a PIL in the Delhi High Court seeking a court-monitored enquiry into the mysterious death of Sunanda Pushkar. ANI
