Haryana IPS Puran Kumar Case: FIR Under SC/ST Act, SIT Named as Family Withholds Autopsy

Authorities moved on senior ranks after a 9‑page note alleging caste harassment named top officials.

Overview

  • Chandigarh Police registered an FIR citing BNS Section 108 for abetment to suicide and relevant SC/ST Act provisions based on a complaint by IAS officer Amneet P. Kumar.
  • A six‑member SIT led by IG Pushpendra Kumar is investigating, and Chandigarh’s DGP has asked the family to consent to a videographed postmortem by a medical board.
  • Haryana earlier sent DGP Shatrujit Kapoor and Rohtak SP Narendra Bijaraniya on leave and appointed O.P. Singh acting DGP; on Saturday Bijaraniya was replaced by IPS Surinder Singh Bhoria as Rohtak SP.
  • The family alleges the body was moved from Sector‑16 Hospital to PGIMER without consent and says no postmortem or last rites will occur until there is ‘justice’.
  • The recovered document includes eight pages naming 12 IAS and IPS officers and a ninth page as a signed, dated will, drawing protests and opposition visits as the probe proceeds.
