Gopal Goyal Ram, aka Gopal Kanda is in Police custody but has been successful in misleading them. Till now he hasnot provided satisfactory answer to any of the questions.
He  remained stubbornly quiet on his whereabouts in the last 10 days since Geetika’s suicide note blamed him and his employee Aruna Chaddha.
Police also failed to get a reply from him about the phone numbers he used for communicating with Geetika.
“Geetika’s mother Anuradha alleged that she had called up Kanda on Aug 4 but he did not answer. When he later called her from another number, she enquired from him about a previous call made by Chaddha, asking about the papers which Geetika was supposed to sign,” . “To this, Kanda allegedly asked Anuradha to send her daughter to his office to sign those papers,” said the officer.
Several questions, pointed out the investigators, remained unanswered. For one thing, if Geetika was simply his employee, the police can’t figure out why more than 400 SMSes were exchanged between them?
Besides, where were the three computers used by Kanda, Chaddha and Sharma, asked an investigator.
Why did Chaddha help the victim in her abortion? Why did she write a forged letter purportedly in the name of Gurgaon station house officer to a Dubai-based airline where Geetika had joined after the MDLR Airlines stopped operations?
“Geetika’s brother Ankit alleged that Kanda had visited his residence and admitted to having sent a ‘forged letter’. The letter alleged that she had an outstanding loan in India,” said an investigator.
“He apologised to my mother and then took my family for a trip to Shirdi,” said Ankit.
The family alleged that it was because of the letter that Geetika had to quit her job in Dubai and come back to India.
Kanda was arrested early Saturday morning after he surrendered at a police station in the capital and was remanded to seven days in police custody.
Investigators Sunday took him to his office and house in Gurgaon for searches and seized some electronic items and computer hard disks.
Police took Kanda to the office of his defunt airline MDLR and his residence in Gurgaon on Delhi’s outskirts and searched the premises.
Kanda and Chaddha were booked for abetting Geetika’s suicide and criminal intimidation after they were named in the two-page suicide note Geetika wrote and left behind.
Kanda was on the run since Aug 8 after Geetika, 23, accused him and Chaddha, of harassing her and forcing her to commit suicide. She died on the night of Aug 4-5 at her house in north Delhi’s Ashok Vihar. Both Kanda and Chaddha have denied the allegations.
