Dr Subramanian Swamy is well-known for his crusade against corrupt and criminals. The last name in his hit list was Bollywood. He picked up the Sushant Singh Rajput mysterious death case and succeeded in bringing to book Rhea Chakraborty, the prime accused.
The actor is now cooling her heels in a Mumbai jail after her trails with drug peddlers were unearthed by the Narcotics Control Bureau.
The latest name in the hit list is senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor. Just a few minutes ago, the anti-crime crusader picked up Sunanda Pushkar’s death case, wherein Tharoor is accused of abetting his wife’s death.
Swamy has categorically called Sunanda’s as a murder case. “In the Sunanda Pushkar unnatural case, the body was available to AIIMS team, and the Team did an excellent thorough job under chairmanship of Dr. Sudhir Gupta. and concluded it as murder. An extensive Report was given to Delhi Police, but DP did not yet file it in Court. Why?” he tweeted.
The Delhi police are sitting over the case for the last four years. They have not yet collected the final AIIMS report prepared in 2016, which had ruled out Sunanda’s suicide.
Even the then Delhi Police Commissioner BS Bassi had ruled out the natural death of Sunanda. Her body’s autopsy was done in 2014.
Dr Gupta had shot off a letter to the Delhi Police Commissioner on 22 June 2016 answering queries sought by the police.
A new twist to the case came in after Dr Gupta claimed he manipulated the autopsy report under pressure. Sunanda was found dead in her suite in Delhi’s Leela Hotel on January 17, 2014.
The alleged injury marks on her body and traces of anti-anxiety drug Alprazolam in her stomach aroused the suspicion of foul play.
The prosecution in the Sunanda case had made some alarming claims during a hearing in the case by naming Congress MP Shashi Tharoor as the lone accused in the case.
The prosecution had pleaded for framing charges against him under abetment to suicide and domestic violence.
The prosecution alleged Sunanda was forced to take her life because of the mental and physical cruelty meted out to her. It also said both Sunanda and Tharoor indulged in scuffles four days before her death as indicated by a medical report.
The prosecution alleged Sunanda was marked with bruises on her arms and legs.
The medical reports also said Sunanda’s death was caused due to poison and blunt force, and an injection mark was found on her body.
The prosecution also claimed that Sunanda’s cousin Renu Das, who also is a doctor, was witness to the victim’s subjugation to cruelty and domestic violence.
Tharoor was named lone accused in 2018 and charged him under Sections 498 A (husband or relative subjecting a woman to cruelty) and Section 306 (abetment to suicide).
Tharoor was granted bail in the case on 7 July 2018. He has consistently denied charges against him saying it is a political conspiracy and preposterous. However, the police investigation proves otherwise.
Swamy cannot be taken lightly. When he takes up the matter he brings it to a logical conclusion. He took “JJ (Jail For Jayalalithaa) campaign to the Supreme Court and saw to it that the Tamil Nadu “dictator” is sent to jail. In fact, it was Swamy who had filed the original disproportionate assets case against Jayalalithaa, for which she was acquitted by the Karnataka high court.
He also saw P Chidambaram imprisoned in the INX Media case. He was accused of facilitating foreign investment for the company when he was the Finance Minister. His son, Karti Chidambaram, is accused of receiving kickbacks for the approval.
Swamy also forced Sonia Gandhi and her family to climb the staircase of Patiala House court. They are accused of misappropriation of funds from the National Herald newspaper. Swamy also accused Sonia Gandhi of stealing rare artefacts and statues and taking them to Italy.
Now, after taking up Sunanda’s case, it will be interesting to watch how this “smash the patriarchy” fools will react to this?
