Haryana ASI Found Dead in Rohtak After Recording Allegations Against Late IG Puran Kumar

Forensic teams are examining a purported video and note as villagers withhold the body and demand an FIR.

Overview

  • Assistant sub-inspector Sandeep Kumar was discovered with a gunshot wound in Rohtak, with police saying it appears to be a suicide and calling in forensics to review a six-minute video and a multi-page note.
  • In the purported materials, he accuses the late IG Y Puran Kumar and others of large-scale corruption and caste-based misconduct and praises former Rohtak SP Narendra Bijarniya and DGP Shatrujeet Kapur as honest, claims that remain unverified.
  • The ASI, who worked in the Rohtak cyber cell, was part of the CIA-2 team linked to the October 6 interception and arrest of Puran Kumar’s associate Sushil Kumar in an extortion probe tied to a liquor contractor’s complaint.
  • Relatives and villagers moved the body to Ladhot village and refused to permit a post-mortem until a case is registered based on the video and note, according to local police and family members.
  • The death follows administrative action that sent DGP Kapur on leave and transferred SP Bijarniya, as a Chandigarh SIT continues probing Puran Kumar’s earlier death and political leaders press for arrests and accountability.
