Shatrujeet Kapur, the director general of police for Haryana, has been placed on leave in connection with the suicide row of an Indian Police Service (IPS) officer.
A “final note” left by Haryana IPS officer Y. Puran Kumar, who is suspected of having committed suicide on October 7, has prompted the Chandigarh Police to file a first information report (FIR).
The FIR was filed just hours after Amneet P. Kumar, Puran Kumar’s widow and a senior IAS official, asked Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini to step in and guarantee that a FIR was filed and that the people listed in her husband’s “final note” be suspended and arrested.
The wife of Puran Kumar has not yet consented to the autopsy of her husband’s remains, claiming that “high-ranking, powerful Haryana officials are involved in the case.”
The body is in a mortuary eight days after the suicide. The arrests of DGP Shatrujeet Singh Kapur and the fired Rohtak Superintendent of Police Narendra Bijarniya have left Puran Kumar’s wife and the state administration in a deadlock.
The body of the IPS officer remains at the mortuary seven days after his “suicide.”
In a rapidly shifting political landscape, Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha, will visit the late IPS officer’s Chandigarh home on Tuesday to offer condolences.
“Our only demand is that the guilty be punished,” stated State Leader of the Opposition Bhupinder Hooda, who described the tragedy as extremely tragic. The government is in charge of administering justice. The government shouldn’t stray from its mandate.
The Punjab State Scheduled Castes Commission took a firm stance on Monday, expressing displeasure with the Chandigarh Police’s report on the suicide case. A Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been established in accordance with the police report, and the investigation is presently underway.
Punjab State Scheduled Castes Commission Chairman Jasvir Singh Garhi expressed displeasure with the report and instructed the Chandigarh Police authorities to follow the Supreme Court’s ruling in Lalita Kumari vs. State of Uttar Pradesh. Garhi gave them instructions to act right away and apprehend the 14 people listed in the deceased officer’s suicide note.
He added that it was unclear whether a formal complaint had been filed against the 14 officials listed in the suicide note because the report that was presented lacked a copy of the first information report (FIR).
