"Forced to take his life", alleges AAP Punjab on Haryana IPS 'suicide' case

Chandigarh [India], October 13 (ANI): Aman Arora, who is the President of the Aam Aadmi Party unit of Punjab, said that the denial of justice to the family of the IPS officer Y. Puran Kumar, who died allegedly by suicide at his residence in Chandigarh, reflects the kind of atmosphere prevailing in the country and Bharatiya Janata Party-ruled states.
He also expressed concern over the lack of action regarding the incident in which an object was thrown at the Chief Justice of India, BR Gavai.
In the IPS Officer's case, Arora alleged that the officer took his life under "pressure"
"It is deeply saddening and unfortunate that a senior IPS officer has died by suicide... It has been six days since his death, and the family has yet to receive justice... It is deeply unfortunate that no action has been taken in the shoe-throwing incident at Chief Justice BR Gavai, and that so much pressure has been exerted on a respected IPS officer that he has no choice but to end his life. This reflects the atmosphere prevailing in the country and in BJP-ruled states... The Punjab government stands in support of the family...," he told reporters on Sunday.
Meanwhile, the six-member Special Investigation Team (SIT), constituted by the Chandigarh Police to investigate the case, has written to the Haryana Government, seeking the documents required for the investigation.
Puran Kumar allegedly shot himself at his residence in Chandigarh on October 7, and in the 'final note' he left behind, he accused eight senior cops, including Haryana director general of police Shatrujeet Kapur, of "blatant caste-based discrimination, targeted mental harassment, public humiliation and atrocities."
Earlier, the Haryana IAS Officers' Association expressed deep sorrow over the sudden and tragic death of IPS Y Puran Kumar. The Association paid tribute to his integrity and dedication to public service, acknowledging his significant contributions to society. (ANI)
