Overview

  • Chandigarh Police amended FIR No. 156 to invoke SC/ST Act Section 3(2)(v), which can carry life imprisonment, replacing an initially milder provision.
  • A six-member SIT led by IG Pushpendra Kumar is investigating and has sought records from Haryana Police linked to a Rohtak case involving the officer’s gunman.
  • The FIR reproduces an eight-page “final note” alleging harassment, humiliation and caste-based discrimination by senior officers, including DGP Shatrujeet Singh Kapur and then Rohtak SP Narendra Bijraniya.
  • Haryana transferred Bijraniya from Rohtak as the standoff continued, with the officer’s body kept at PGIMER and the family refusing a postmortem until arrests are made.
  • Political pressure escalated, with Congress leaders meeting the family, Mallikarjun Kharge writing to the officer’s wife, and Punjab Congress announcing statewide candlelight marches seeking action against the DGP.
