Geetika mother suicide case: Charges against Kanda, Chaddha
A day after Geetika Sharma’s mother committed suicide, the Delhi police today slapped charges of abetment of suicide against former Haryana minister Gopal Kanda and his aide Aruna Chhadha after their names figured in her suicide note.
Anuradha Sharma, the mother of former airhostess Geetika Sharma who ended her life blaming Kanda, was found hanging from a ceiling fan in her house in Ashok Vihar area last evening.
The police registered a case and booked Kanda and Chhadha, already in judicial custody in the Geetika Sharma murder case, under Section 306 (abetment of suicide).
“The suicide note names Kanda and Chhadha. They have booked for abetment of suicide. Investigations are on in this case,” a senior police official said.
In her suicide note, Anuradha said she was under depression ever since her daughter’s death and blamed Kanda and his aide Aruna Chaddha for Geetika’s death.
The official said Anuradga had also written a personal letter to her son Ankit Sharma explaining the reasons why she took the extreme step of ending her life. She also asked him to be strong. He also said the family has not yet told police about any pressure being exerted by Kanda’s family on them to withdraw their case against him.
Quoting family members, the police sources said Anuradha was under depression and her family members never left her alone since Geetika’s death. “They kept a close watch of her inside the house,” the police said.
The sources also said Ankit had called his mother for lunch yesterday but she refused and told him that they can meet at home in the evening. However, she came home early from office and ended her life.
