Chandigarh Police Form SIT After FIR in Haryana IPS Officer Y. Puran Kumar’s Death

A six-member team will examine allegations of abetment to suicide rooted in caste-based abuse cited in the officer’s final note.

Overview

  • FIR No. 156 at Sector 11 cites BNS Section 108 read with 3(5) and SC/ST Act Section 3(1)(r) against those named in the note.
  • The recovered ‘final note’ names senior and retired officials, including DGP Shatrujeet Singh Kapur and Rohtak SP Narendra Bijarniya, alleging prolonged harassment.
  • The National Commission for Scheduled Castes has asked the Chandigarh administration and police chief for an action-taken report within seven days.
  • The body has been shifted to PGIMER for post-mortem as the family seeks explicit naming of all accused, arrests, and stronger SC/ST provisions in the FIR.
  • Opposition leaders and Dalit groups have pressed for accountability, and police say the SIT led by IGP Pushpendra Kumar will run a time-bound, impartial probe.
