Delhi Police conducted fresh raids at the residence of absconding former Haryana Minister Gopal Kanda, who is accused of abetting the suicide of former air hostess Geetika Sharma, even as he evaded police for another
day.

Investigators picked up one of Kanda's relatives for questioning, sources said.

Investigators have conducted searches and raids in around 50 places and questioned over 25 people but they were unable to trace Kanda, the owner of erstwhile MDLR Airline where 23-year-old Sharma was working.

Kanda was served with a notice to join investigations last Wednesday but the former Minister had gone underground with police declaring him an absconder while his employee Aruna Chaddha was arrested.

Kanda and Chaddha were named in the suicide note of Geetika, who took her life on August five, alleging that they had harassed her and ruined her life. Both Kanda and Chaddha denied the allegations. The former minister had moved a local court and then Delhi High Court seeking anticipatory bail. While local court denied it, the High Court has reserved the order.
