Aug 05 2012: Haryana minister Gopal Kanda accused of abetting former air hostess' suicide

Haryana minister Gopal Kanda accused of abetting former air hostess' suicide resigns


Geetika Sharma allegedly committed suicide over continuing mental harassment allegedly by Kanda.
Haryana's controversial Minister of State for Home Gopal Kanda, blamed by a former flight attendant for driving her to suicide, submitted his resignation to Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda in New Delhi on Sunday evening.
The resignation came just hours after Kanda was booked for abetment to suicide by the Delhi Police after a former flight attendant, Geetika Sharma, committed suicide in New Delhi on Sunday. She had, in her suicide note, accused him of harassing her which led to her suicide.
"I have submitted my resignation to the chief minister today evening after he returned from Kolkata. I was waiting for him (Hooda) to return to submit my resignation," Kanda told reporters in Gurgaon, near New Delhi."I will come out clean in this. There is nothing against me. I have submitted my resignation so that there is no interference in this matter. The law will take its own course," Kanda said. In her suicide note, the victim blamed Kanda for breaking her trust, police said, adding that a case of abetment to suicide had been registered against him. 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 Kanda.
According to the victim's brother, Gaurav Sharma, his sister was being constantly being mentally harassed by Kanda and his colleague Aruna Chadha.
"My sister quit her job and decided to work with Emirates and had gone for training in Dubai but Kanda wrote to them accusing my sister of having  bad character which led to her termination," he told reporters.
She was being asked by Kanda to join his company again, added Sharma.
