Suicide Note Names Top Cop: Haryana DGP Sent on Leave After IPS Officer's Death

This special report focuses on the significant fallout from the alleged suicide of Haryana IPS officer Y. Puran Kumar, which has led to the state government sending Director General of Police, Shatrujit Kapoor, on leave. According to our correspondent, Kapoor's 'staying as DGP became untenable the moment he was named in FIR by Chandigarh police on allegations of caste based discrimination leading to suicide of Vaipuran Kumar.' The case has ignited a political firestorm, with allegations of harassment and caste-based discrimination against senior officers named in the deceased officer's suicide note. The government's hand was forced by mounting pressure from the opposition, with leaders like Rahul Gandhi planning to meet the officer's family, and a 'Mahapanchayat' demanding action. The move against the state's top police official comes after an FIR was registered against multiple officers based on a complaint by Kumar's wife.
