Kanda got clean chit from cops in 2008 case

Former Haryana minister Gopal Goyal Kanda was let off by police in a 2008 case of assault on income tax officials, an official said on Saturday.

Kanda was the main accused in the assault on income tax officials during a raid at his MDLR Airlines office, but he along with his relative was let off in April 2012, a police official said.
