The Delhi police has sent a team to Madhya Pradesh to locate Ankita Singh, an employee of former Haryana minister Gopal Kanda. Ankita has been out of the reach of the police ever since her name was seen in the suicide note of former air hostess Geetika Sharma.
Singh, a resident of Satna, Madhya Pradesh, was a dancer and was spotted by Mr Kanda when she performed once at his Gurgaon farmhouse. Later, he gave her a job.
Police sources said Geetika had mentioned in her two-page suicide note that “he (Kanda) has illegal relationship with a woman named Ankita (Singh) and (has) a girl child’.
A police team, which went to Goa to trace Ankita, was unable to locate her. “We want to question Ankita Singh as she is also named in the case. Till now, she is not traceable,” said a senior police officer.
Four computer hard discs and a laptop have been destroyed or removed before Mr Kanda surrendered to the police. The police had failed to extract any information about them from Mr Kanda who stoically maintained that he “never used laptop and has no knowledge about computers”.
Taking note of his uncooperative attitude, the police is planning to conduct brain-mapping test on Mr Kanda, who on Saturday surrendered before the police after evading arrest for ten days.
“If required, we will do that (brain-mapping test). Nothing has come out yet. He is not co-operating,” said deputy commissioner of police (northwest) P. Karunakaran.
Police officials said that Mr Kanda is not cooperating in the investigation. He keeps denying any involvement with the suicide of 23-year-old Geetika who was an employee in his defunct MDLR airline.
“Kanda tries to mislead us with improper reply. He is stubborn and refuses to answer the queries. He laughs on every question,” a senior official said.
The police was unable to confront Kanda with his employee Aruna Chaddha, who is in judicial custody after a city court rejected its plea for her custody on Monday.
Aruna was produced in the trial court as the Delhi police pleaded for her custody for three days “to confront” her with the former minister.
The Delhi police raided Mr Kanda’s farmhouse on Gurgaon-Faridabad Road, his Park Plaza hotel at Sushant Lok and his MDLR office at Gurgaon Sector 15 on Monday and reportedly seized some documents and soft copies from the computers there.
