Family refuses last rites until accused officers are named in FIR; wife and IAS officer Amneet P. Kumar demands justice and transparency.
Even after five days since the alleged suicide of senior IPS officer Y. Puran Kumar (2001 batch), the case continues to face delays, with no post-mortem conducted and the funeral still pending. The deadlock persists as the officer’s family demands firm legal action before proceeding with any formalities.
Family’s Stand: Justice Before Final Rites
The late officer’s wife, Amneet P. Kumar, an IAS officer of the same batch, has refused to allow the post-mortem until the names mentioned in her husband’s suicide note are officially listed as accused in the FIR. She has also sought a written assurance from authorities that a fair and comprehensive investigation will be carried out.
The body of the IPS officer remains preserved in the mortuary since his death earlier this week. Although the post-mortem was tentatively scheduled at PGI Chandigarh, the family’s cooperation remains conditional on the inclusion of all names cited in the suicide note.
Accusations in the Suicide Note
According to officials, the deceased officer left behind an eight-page handwritten note, in which he alleged persistent mental harassment and professional humiliation by certain senior police officers. The note reportedly names Haryana DGP Shatrujeet Kapur and Rohtak SP Narendra Bijarniya among others.
Amneet Kumar has specifically blamed SP Narendra Bijarniya, claiming her husband was subjected to prolonged psychological pressure that pushed him toward taking the extreme step.
IAS Association Calls for Fair Probe
The Haryana IAS Association has extended full solidarity with Amneet Kumar, urging the administration to ensure a transparent and sensitive investigation into the matter. The association has also stressed that the case should be handled with dignity, impartiality, and urgency, given its impact on the morale of the civil services.
In its formal resolution, the association referenced Amneet Kumar’s representations—submitted to the Chief Minister on October 9 and to Chandigarh Police on October 8—which outline the alleged pattern of harassment faced by the officer. The IAS body has demanded that every claim in those letters be investigated in detail.
SIT Formed, But Family Awaits Accountability
Responding to growing pressure, the Haryana government has set up a six-member Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the incident. The team has already visited the officer’s residence and collected preliminary evidence.
However, despite this action, the family remains unconvinced. They insist that the existing FIR is incomplete, as it fails to explicitly name several officers mentioned in the suicide note. Amneet Kumar has made it clear that no post-mortem or funeral will proceed until the FIR is amended accordingly.
