Overview

  • Chandigarh Police confirmed adding Section 3 of the SC/ST Act to the FIR after objections from Y. Puran Kumar’s wife to what she called diluted provisions.
  • The family has not consented to an autopsy yet, citing grievances over how the body was moved to PGIMER and demanding specific sections and names in the case file.
  • A six-member SIT led by IG Pushpendra Kumar is probing the case, while the Haryana government transferred Rohtak SP Narendra Bijarniya, who was named in the final note.
  • Amneet P. Kumar has urged police to name the accused, including Haryana DGP Shatrujeet Kapur and Bijarniya, and has sought action over alleged abetment to suicide.
  • Political leaders, including Sonia Gandhi, Mayawati and Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann, called for an independent, transparent investigation, as a citizens’ committee announced a Sunday mahapanchayat in Chandigarh.
