“The moment the court acquitted Kanda, it seemed like the ground beneath my feet had shaken… No one ever treated him like an accused,” Geetika’s brother Ankit Sharma told The Indian Express. “We expected the order to come in our favour, as the case was watertight and there were all messages showing Kanda harassed my sister and abetted her suicide… It happened because he was influential,” he added. “This is what happens when the victim is not financially powerful enough… We gave our everything to the case these 11 years and hoped for some amount of justice for my sister but this was not to be the case,” the brother added. The family is planning to challenge the acquittal in the high court.
