Overview

• Y. Puran Kumar’s body remains at PGIMER in Chandigarh as his wife refuses postmortem and cremation until DGP Shatrujeet Kapur and ex-Rohtak SP Narendra Bijarniya are arrested.
• A 31-member committee supporting the family held a mahapanchayat and gave the Chandigarh administration and Haryana government 48 hours to remove the DGP and act against the accused, warning of wider protests.
• Chandigarh Police amended the FIR to add Section 3(2)(v) of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and constituted a six-member SIT, which has asked the family to identify the body and the state to supply documents.
• Investigators say delays in the autopsy and the family’s refusal to hand over the late officer’s laptop could degrade gunshot residue, ballistic and digital evidence needed for the probe.
• The Haryana government transferred Bijarniya and sought to send the DGP on leave, offers the family rejected as political leaders across parties visited and called for an impartial, high-level investigation.
