Haryana Sends DGP Kapur on Leave in IPS Officer’s Death, OP Singh Gets Temporary Charge

The decision reflects escalating pressure as the investigation stalls without an autopsy or access to key digital evidence.

Overview

  • An official order assigns 1992-batch IPS officer O P Singh the additional charge of Haryana DGP during Shatrujeet Kapur’s leave.
  • Chandigarh Police updated the FIR to include Section 3(2)(v) of the SC/ST Act, and a Special Investigation Team is leading the case.
  • The family has refused consent for the post-mortem and denied investigators access to the late officer’s laptop, slowing forensic work.
  • Former Rohtak SP Narendra Bijarniya was transferred earlier as a 31-member committee issued a 48-hour ultimatum seeking removals and arrests.
  • Political pressure intensified, with Rahul Gandhi meeting the family on Tuesday and Union minister Ramdas Athawale urging swift action from the state.
