New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Thursday expressed displeasure over the alleged parallel investigation being run by journalist Arnab Goswami on his TV channel in the death of Congress leader Shashi Tharoor's wife Sunanda Pushkar.

"People must take a course in criminal trial and then get into journalism. It is not a reflection on the plaintiff (Tharoor) but the investigating agency. Can there be a parallel investigation or trial?... Would you not like the courts to take their own course," said a single judge bench of Justice Mukta Gupta.
