New Delhi: In a carefully worded statement, the Chief of Co-ordination of the MDLR Group, Aruna Chadha on Monday condoled the death of its ex-employee Geetika Sharma and welcomed the investigation into the case.

Twenty-three-year-old Geetika Sharma committed suicide on Saturday night by hanging from the ceiling fan and left behind a suicide note squarely blaming ex-Haryana MoS for Home Gopal Kanda and Aruna Chadha for her suicide.

According to the family of the victim, the ex-minister, who is the MD of the now-defunct airline, harassed the girl after she left the job, pressurising her to join back. The victim's brother said that Kanda even paid personal visits to their house.
