In a new twist in the Geetika Sharma case, her mother also committed suicide on Friday, six months after the former airhostess ended her life due to alleged “harassment” by former Haryana Minister Gopal Kanda.

Anuradha Sharma, in her fifties, allegedly took the extreme step on Friday evening by hanging herself from a ceiling fan at her residence in Ashok Vihar in north-west Delhi with her relatives saying she was under depression ever since Geetika’s death.
