It was submitted by his advocate that the Twitter account details of Sunanda Pushkar were of utmost importance. 

On behalf of Tharoor, his counsel alleged that there was apprehension and threat of the account and tweets getting deleted. 

He said if that happens then his right to exonerate himself from allegedly false charges level against him will be taken away. 

Plea demanded that for a fair trial, the police should preserve material and documents essential for the adjudication of the case.
