New Delhi: Days after his mother's fatal death, 22-year-old Ankit Sharma finally broke his silence on the controversial case following which he lost two members of his family - his mother Anuradha and sister Geetika. In an article published in NDTV, Ankit raised fingers at the main accused of two suicide cases - Gopal Kanda. Ankit said that her mother was upset with the former Haryana minister who allegedly had harassed Anuradha mentally in court room. Speaking about the difficulties post Geetika's death, Ankit said, "It destroyed our confidence to see Kanda all smiles in court. My mother yelled and shouted in the courtroom, but nothing happened." "It was difficult to get lawyers, no one wanted to support us because we were taking on a powerful man," added Ankit.
Since the trial began in the abetting Geetika's suicide, Geetika's family had been alleging that Kanda was pressurising them to withdraw the complaint against him.
