This incident comes amid the ongoing probe into the death of IPS officer Y Puran Kumar, who allegedly died by suicide on October 7. In his “final note”, Kumar accused several senior officers, including Kapur and Bijarniya, of harassment and caste-based discrimination, which he said led to his emotional distress, reported Hindustan Times.
Following Kumar’s death, the Haryana government removed Rohtak SP Bijarniya, one of the officers named by Kumar’s wife, IAS officer Amneet P Kumar, who has sought action for allegedly abetting her husband’s suicide.
The Chandigarh Police registered an FIR based on the IPS officer’s note and have added charges under the SC/ST Act after a request from his wife. Authorities are now investigating both cases.
