Tharoor's stepson moves HC

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor’s stepson Shiv Menon on Friday moved the Delhi High Court, opposing BJP leader Subramanian Swamy’s plea for a court-monitored CBI-led SIT probe into the death of Sunanda Pushkar.

The application on behalf of Menon, Sunanda’s son from her previous marriage, would be heard by a bench headed by Justice G S Sistani on July 24.

Senior advocate Vikas Pahwa moved the application on behalf of Menon in a pending petition filed by Swamy, seeking probe into the death of Sunanda.

Menon is seeking to intervene on the ground that the BJP leader has no locus in the issue of his mother’s death.
