Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju on Tuesday said that law will take its course in the death case of Sunanda Pushkar, the wife of former union minister and Congress leader Shashi Tharoor.
"It is good that an FIR has been registered for the Sunanda Pushkar case. We shall wait and see, law will take its own course," said Rijiju.
Meanwhile, a Mumbai-based BJP activist Guru Nair, who hails from Kerala, demanded Tharoor's resignation as a Member of Parliament.
"The law should be equal for all including Tharoor. It is my personal opinion that in the wake of today's announcement by the Delhi Police, Tharoor should resign as a Member of Parliament and should be investigated immediately and promptly," he said.
Earlier in the day, the Delhi Police had stated that a case has been registered with regard to the death of Sunanda Pushkar, adding that medical reports have indicated that her demise was due to poisoning.

However, Bassi had denied allegations of deliberate delays in the case, despite the FIR being registered almost a year after Pushkar's death.
Pushkar, who married Tharoor in 2010, had checked into The Leela Hotel in Chanakyapuri a day before her death on January 17, 2014.
Tharoor's aides said the couple had checked into the luxury hotel because of renovation work at his Delhi bungalow.
Prior to her death, Sunanda was embroiled in a spat with Pakistan-based journalist, Mehr Tarar, whom she accused of stalking her husband Shashi Tharoor.
