Overview

• An official order assigns OP Singh additional charge of Haryana DGP during Shatrujeet Kapur’s leave, days after Rohtak SP Narendra Bijarniya was transferred.
• Chandigarh Police have registered an FIR invoking the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and later added Section 3(2)(v), and a six-member SIT is leading the probe.
• The family, led by IAS officer Amneet P Kumar, continues to refuse the post-mortem and has denied the SIT access to the late officer’s laptop sought for forensic analysis.
• A 31-member committee backing the family issued a 48-hour ultimatum for action against Kapur and Bijarniya, and large protests have been signalled if demands are not met.
• Rahul Gandhi met the family in Chandigarh on Tuesday, as other political leaders visited in recent days, while a separately reported ASI suicide alleging counter-claims has not been integrated into the main investigation.
