Haryana Sends DGP Shatrujeet Kapur on Leave in IPS Officer Y Puran Kumar Case

The decision reflects mounting pressure after a week-long autopsy standoff driven by the family's demands.

Overview

  • OP Singh is given additional charge of state police chief, while officials have not specified the length of Kapur’s leave.
  • The FIR now includes Section 3(2)(v) of the SC/ST Act, and a six-member Special Investigation Team is handling the case.
  • The family continues to withhold consent for the post-mortem and has denied investigators access to the officer’s laptop, slowing forensic work.
  • Rohtak SP Narendra Bijarniya, also named in the note, was transferred as protests grew and a 31-member mahapanchayat issued a 48-hour ultimatum for action.
  • Investigators have sought documents from the Haryana government, and political leaders including Rahul Gandhi and Ramdas Athawale met the family as pressure escalated.
