In a supplementary chargesheet submitted against Chanshivroop Singh, an aide of Kanda, before the court of additional chief metropolitan magistrate DK Jangala, police said "the facts emerged against Chanshivroop during further investigation.

"When Geetika refused to come back to India and join MDLR Airlines (floated by Kanda), Kanda used other nefarious tactics to mount pressure on her", said the chargesheet filed yesterday.

"In pursuance of criminal conspiracy, Kanda and Chadha appointed Chanshivroop Singh as assisstant HR Manager in MDLR group with the sole objective of ensuring that Geetika remained under the control of Kanda," it said.

"Chanshivroop went to Dubai to compel Geetika to resign from Emirates Airlines and created fake e-mail ID for sending documents given by Kanda.

"Investigation discloses that accused Chanshivroop joined the conspiracy (hatched by co-accused Kanda and Aruna Chadha) and committed offences under section 471 IPC (using forged documents as genuine) and 66A IT Act (sending false messages). It is requested that he be summoned to face the trial," the chargesheet said.

The chargesheet has been filed over three months after the main chargesheet was filed against Kanda and Aruna Chadha in October 2012.

The chargesheet said that at the instance of Kanda and Chadha, Chanshivroop went to Dubai under the garb of investigating the issue of forged NoC furnished by Geetika to ensure she is removed from her job with Emirates Airlines.

The police also said when Chanshivroop tried to contact Emirates Airlines and did not get any favourable response, Kanda sent him a complaint from MDLR Airlines to Gurgaon Police purportedly lodged against alleged fraud committed by Geetika by creating fake experience certificates and also taking away company documents and laptop.

This complaint was handed over by Chanshivroop to the Head of Investigation in Emirates Airlines and ultimately Geetika resigned from there citing domestic issues.

"In this manner, Kanda showed his influence and authority and made Geetika realise that she could not work anywhere else her with dignity. This realization was unbearable and made Geetika highly vulnerable to further exploitation", said the chargesheet.

Although Kanda and Chadha succeeded in getting Geetika to resign from Emirates Airlines and return to India, they could not get her to join MDLR Airlines and once again Chanshivroop was roped in by them and he created fake e-mali IDs and sent forged e-mail to Geetika about the alleged extradition proceedings against her in Dubai, the chargesheet said.
