Delhi Police on Tuesday told a court here that hard disks and other electronic data recovered from the office of former Haryana minister Gopal Kanda,an accused in the Geetika Sharma suicide case,show he was pressurising her to return to India from Dubai and drove her to suicide.

In its arguments on framing of charges against Kanda and his aide Aruna Chaddha,the prosecution submitted before District Judge S K

Sarvaria that the hard disks and emails recovered show that the duo abetted her suicide.

In its main and supplementary chargesheets also,Delhi Police has said Kanda was obsessed with Geetika and wanted to bring her back to sexually exploit her.

Additional Public Prosecutor Rajiv Mohan submitted that when Geetika — earlier an employee of Kanda’s MDLR Airlines — joined Emirates Airlines,Kanda sent them a complaint from MDLR Airlines purportedly lodged with Gurgaon police against alleged fraud committed by Geetika by creating fake experience certificates and also taking away MDLR’s documents and laptop.

He also submitted that Kanda roped in another accused,Chanshivroop,who created a fake email ID and sent forged email to Geetika about the alleged extradition proceedings against her in Dubai.

The prosecution said electronic data and other evidence make out a case of abetment to suicide,criminal conspiracy,criminal intimidation,forgery of valuable security,forgery with intention to cheat and harm reputation,using forged documents as genuine and destruction of evidence under the IPC,under which the duo have been chargesheeted.
