Overview

  • Chandigarh Police registered FIR No. 156 invoking abetment to suicide under the BNS and provisions of the SC/ST Act based on an eight‑page final note alleging prolonged caste‑based harassment.
  • A six‑member Special Investigation Team headed by IGP Pushpendra Kumar has been formed to conduct a prompt, impartial and time‑bound inquiry, including evidence collection and witness examination.
  • The National Commission for Scheduled Castes has sought a detailed report from Chandigarh’s Chief Secretary and DGP within seven days after taking suo motu cognisance.
  • The officer’s family has withheld consent for the post‑mortem and objected to the body’s shift to PGIMER, demanding that the FIR explicitly list accused officials and include stronger SC/ST sections; a Sunday mahapanchayat in Chandigarh has been announced by supporters.
  • The Haryana government transferred Rohtak SP Narendra Bijarniya, and Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini publicly pledged action against anyone found guilty, as opposition leaders pressed for accountability.
