Controversial former Haryana Minister Gopal Kanda was arrested after he surrendered before the police early Saturday morning, 13 days after the suicide of his former employee who accused him of abetting her suicide.

Kanda who was "absconding" for the past 10 days after police served him a notice to appear before them to join investigations, surfaced at Bharat Nagar police station at 4 am.

Before entering the police station, he told media persons that he was joining investigations as directed by Delhi police.

"Kanda has surrendered and we have arrested him," P Karunakaran, Deputy Commissioner of Police (North-West) said.

His employee, Aruna Chaddha, a senior functionary with now defunct MDLR airlines, has already been arrested and is in judicial custody in connection with the suicide of Geetika Sharma, who allegedly took her life on August 5 in her Ashok Vihar residence.
