Sunanda case: CAT relief for Shashi Tharoor

NEW DELHI: The Central Administrative Tribunal has held that former Union minister Shashi Tharoor had not put any pressure on AIIMS doctor Sudhir Gupta to submit a tailor-made autopsy report in Sunanda Pushkar murder case.
The tribunal dismissed the plea of Gupta, head of forensic sciences at AIIMS, that he was pressurized to tinker with the autopsy report.
“The email sent by Shashi Tharoor, the then Union minister, to Dr Rajiv Bhasin, on January 26, 2014 and the notice dated June 2, 2014 issued by Dr Adarsh Kumar, member secretary, medical board, AIIMS do not reveal anything to show that any pressure was put on the applicant to submit a tailor-made autopsy report,” the tribunal said.
