Delhi Police on Monday filed charges in the death of Sunanda Pushkar and named her widower Shashi Tharoor, a Congress member of Parliament, as one of the accused.
The charges were filed in the court of Metropolitan Magistrate Dharmender Singh under Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections of husband or his relative subjecting a woman to cruelty and abetment of suicide.
Tharoor responded in two tweets to the charge: 

Pushkar was found dead in a luxury hotel room in New Delhi on January 17, 2014.
The Supreme Court on Friday was told by the Delhi Police's special investigation team (SIT) nearly one month prior that after "thorough professional and scientific investigations", it has prepared a draft final report into the death of Sunanda Pushkar.
An affidavit had been filed on a plea filed by BJP leader Subramanian Swamy seeking a court-monitored SIT probe into Pushkar's death.
