Geetika Suicide: Court asks cops to probe why Gopal Kanda and his brothers were declared POs

A Delhi court today asked police to probe as to why former Haryana Minister Gopal Goyal Kanda and his brother Gobind had to be declared proclaimed offenders in a 14-year-old cheque bounce case.
Metropolitan Magistrate Vikrant Vaid ordered the probe despite the fact that the two brothers were recently acquitted in the case.
While ordering the probe, the court said getting declared proclaimed offenders for evading court summons and warrants and cheque bounce case were two different offences and one's acquittal in one case does not absolve one of the second offence.
The court told this to the station house officer of the Connaught Place police station, who had appeared before the court to seek clarification on whether further proceedings could be initiated against the duo who have already been acquitted in the cheque bounce case.
