Former air hostess Geetika Sharma's brother Friday moved the Delhi High Court seeking cancellation of bail granted to former Haryana minister Gopal Goyal Kanda, who was in jail for the past 18 months after being accused of abetting his sister's suicide.

Approaching the high court, Sharma's brother contended that Kanda is an influential person and while on bail, will try to tamper with evidence and influence the witnesses.

Asking the court to cancel the bail given to Kanda, Sharma's brother said that trial court has not taken into consideration all the aspects while granting him bail.

The court likely to hear the plea Monday.

The trial court March 4 allowed the bail application of Kanda while observing that he was in judicial custody since August 2012.

The high court had earlier dropped the charge of sexual exploitation against him.
