Tharoor has been charged with abetting the suicide of his wife Sunanda Pushkar
Congress leader Shashi Tharoor is taking a break from Twitter, hours after he was charged with abetting his wife Sunanda Pushkar's suicide.
The MP from Thiruvananthapuram tweeted that "epicaricacy" is the reason for his temporary absence on Twitter.

The Delhi Police accused Tharoor of abetting the suicide of Pushkar and told a city court that he should be summoned as an accused in the four-and-half year-old case, as there was sufficient evidence against him.
In a nearly 3,000-page charge sheet, the police named Tharoor as the only person as accused while also alleging that he had subjected his wife to cruelty.
The charge sheet was filed before Metropolitan Magistrate Dharmendra Singh, who will consider it on May 24.
The agency urged the court to summon Tharoor as an accused.
