New Delhi: The Delhi Police on Saturday chargesheeted the former Haryana Minister, Gopal Goyal Kanda, and his aide Aruna Chaddha accusing them of allegedly abetting the suicide of air hostess Geetika Sharma through “malicious and wilful acts of mental torture, threat, blackmail and stress” and criminal intimidation spread over two years that forced the 23-year-old to end her life.
The police alleged that Geetika’s appointment, rapid promotion and strange service conditions despite her being under-aged and inadequately qualified showed that Mr. Kanda had ‘evil designs’ on her right from the first day and that the “undue favours were given with the intention of entrapping her.”
Mr. Kanda was also charged with criminal conspiracy, destruction of evidence, and forgery under the Indian Penal Code and sending offensive messages under the Information Technology Act. Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate D.K. Jangala took cognisance of the charge sheet and listed the matter for scrutiny of documents on October 9.
