New Delhi: Former Haryana minister Gopal Goyal Kanda, accused of abetting the
suicide of former flight attendant Geetika Sharma, surrendered
early Saturday at a police station here, an official said. He has
been arrested.
Kanda had been absconding since Aug 8 after Sharma, 23, blamed him
and another official of his now-defunct MDLR Airlines, Aruna
Chadha, for harassing her and forcing her to commit suicide. She
died on the night of Aug 4-5.
"He (Kanda) surrendered at Bharat Nagar police station at around 4
a.m. He has been arrested," a police official said.
"He is likely to be produced in the court later in the day," the
official added.
While Kanda's brother had informed the police about the
possibility of his surrender, it was after hours of drama that the
former Haryana minister surrendered.
Kanda owned the MDLR Airlines where Sharma worked as a flight
attendant. After the airline ceased to function in 2009, Sharma
was given a job in another company owned by him.
According to Geetika's brother, Ankit Sharma, his sister was being
constantly mentally harassed by Kanda and his colleague Aruna
Chadha.
Chadha, a senior functionary with now defunct MDLR airlines, has
been arrested and is in judicial custody.
Kanda, who resigned as minister of state for home and urban local
bodies in Haryana, was booked for abetment to suicide by Delhi
Police.
