Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate DK Jangala asked the joint commissioner of police of city's northern range to hold an inquiry into the allegations of Chanshivroop's father Harminder Singh.

The police had arrested Chanshivroop Singh, an assistant manager in Kanda's MDLR, allegedly because he was the person who had gone to Dubai where Geetika was working with Emirates Airlines and told its officials that she had earlier secured a job with MDLR on the basis of fake and forged documents.

Chanshivroop had been released on bail and had also recorded his statement as a witness before a magisterial court after he expressed his wish to become an approver.
