A Delhi court on Saturday granted anticipatory bail to Congress leader Shashi Tharoor in a case relating to his wife Sunanda Pushkar's death. Tharoor has already been summoned as an accused on Saturday in the case.

Shashi Tharoor has been charged under sections 498A (husband or his relative subjecting a woman to cruelty) and 306 (abetment of suicide) of the Indian Penal Code, but has not been arrested in the case.

The Court granted relief to Tharoor on personal bond of one lakh rupees while directing him to neither tamper with evidence nor leave the country without the court's prior permission.

Pushkar was found dead in a suite of a luxury hotel in Delhi on the night of January 17, 2014.
