Tharoor moves HC seeking police to preserve Sunanda Pushkar's tweets

The application was filed in a pending petition seeking direction to the police to place before the trial court certain tweets of Pushkar

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor Thursday approached the Delhi High Court seeking direction to the police to take steps to preserve the Twitter account and tweets made by his wife Sunanda Pushkar prior to her death in 2014.

The application, which is likely to come up for hearing on June 8, said the tweets and Twitter timeline of Pushkar are of utmost importance in the case and as she is not alive, there is an apprehension that the account and the tweets may be deleted.

They are a crucial right of Tharoor to exonerate himself from the alleged false charges levelled
