After the Haryana government implemented major administrative changes in connection with the suicide case of senior IPS officer Y. Puran Kumar, the Nyay Sangharsh Morcha has now redirected its campaign toward seeking action from the Chandigarh administration. The committee expressed that while Haryana has acted decisively, the pursuit of justice continues beyond state boundaries.
Haryana Meets Key Demands; Focus Shifts to Chandigarh
Officials associated with the Morcha confirmed that Haryana’s response — including the removal of the Director General of Police (DGP) and the Superintendent of Police (SP) of Rohtak — has met their core demands. The movement’s next objective, they said, is to ensure that the Chandigarh Police and administration are held accountable for their part in the ongoing investigation.
“The state government has taken steps in the right direction. Now, responsibility lies with the Chandigarh administration to act transparently and uphold justice,” said Gurmel Dhabi, one of the Morcha’s senior members.
From Ultimatum to Peaceful March
Earlier this week, the Nyay Sangharsh Morcha had convened a Mahapanchayat at Guru Ravidas Temple, Sector 20, where protestors gave a 48-hour ultimatum demanding the arrest of senior police officials linked to the case. Following Haryana’s administrative response on Tuesday, the group has announced a peaceful march from Sector 17 to the Punjab Raj Bhavan.
Professor (Retd.) Jayanarayan, who heads the Justice Committee, stated that a memorandum will be submitted to Punjab Governor and Chandigarh Administrator Mr. Gulabchand Kataria.
“Our movement will remain completely peaceful. We are determined to pursue justice while respecting constitutional values,” he affirmed.

Legal Team Refutes Rumors on Funeral Decision
Meanwhile, Ravi Gautam, Vice President of the Legal Cell of the Justice Front, dismissed claims that the late officer’s family had reached an agreement with the authorities over funeral arrangements.
“Reports suggesting any settlement or family consent are inaccurate and misleading,” he clarified, underscoring that discussions are still ongoing.
Family Engagement and Continued Coordination
A follow-up meeting held at Valmiki Temple, Sector 24, brought together protest organizers and members of Y. Puran Kumar’s family. During the discussions, community leaders appealed for restraint, unity, and non-violence, emphasizing that the struggle aims to uphold judicial fairness and administrative transparency.
Symbol of a Larger Demand for Accountability
The episode has ignited a broader national conversation on bureaucratic accountability, mental health in police services, and institutional transparency. While Haryana’s quick action has been acknowledged by the Morcha, the group insists that Chandigarh officials must now demonstrate the same urgency and integrity.
The upcoming peace march and submission of the memorandum signal a new chapter in the justice movement — one that combines public perseverance with lawful protest, keeping the demand for truth and accountability alive.
