Haryana IPS Officer’s Wife Files Complaint Against DGP, SP in Abetment to Suicide Case

Demands the registration of a First Information Report (FIR) against Haryana Director General of Police (DGP) Shatrujeet Singh Kapoor and Rohtak Superintendent of Police (SP) Narendra Bijarania

Chandigarh, October 9, 2025 — In a shocking escalation to the suicide of Haryana IPS officer Y. Puran Kumar, his wife, IAS officer Amneet P. Kumar, has lodged a formal complaint with Chandigarh Police, demanding the registration of a First Information Report (FIR) against Haryana Director General of Police (DGP) Shatrujeet Singh Kapoor and Rohtak Superintendent of Police (SP) Narendra Bijarania. The allegations center on abetment to suicide, citing years of alleged caste-based harassment, professional persecution, and a conspiracy that culminated in Kumar’s death on October 7, 2025.

Amneet P. Kumar, a 2001-batch IAS officer, penned a three-page letter to the Station House Officer (SHO) of Chandigarh’s Sector 11 Police Station, invoking Section 108 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023 (abetment to suicide), read with Section 3(2)(v) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 (SC/ST Act). The complaint, dated October 8, 2025, accuses the senior officers of inflicting “systematic humiliation” on her husband, a 2001-batch IPS officer known for his integrity and public service record.

Details from the Suicide Note and Complaint

According to the complaint, Kumar, who was on an official trip to Japan and India at the time, returned home on October 8 only to discover her husband deceased by gunshot at their residence. An eight-page suicide note, recovered from his laptop and forwarded to authorities along with the complaint, lays bare a trail of grievances. It details “numerous complaints” filed by Kumar against the accused, which were allegedly ignored or weaponized against him.

Key allegations include:

Caste-Based Discrimination: Kumar, belonging to a Scheduled Caste, reportedly faced exclusion from places of worship, targeted mental harassment, and professional slurs by senior officers, including DGP Kapoor. The note claims these acts violated the SC/ST Act, with continuous humiliation amounting to abetment.

False Implication in Cases: On June 10, 2025, SP Bijarania allegedly filed a fabricated FIR (No. 0319/2025) under Section 308 BNS at Rohtak’s Urban Estate Police Station against Kumar and his staff, including driver Sushil. This was purportedly a “well-planned conspiracy” at DGP Kapoor’s behest to implicate Kumar in frivolous charges and derail an ongoing corruption probe he was leading.

-Direct Interference: The suicide note recounts Kumar’s attempts to alert DGP Kapoor, including a conversation where the top cop allegedly dismissed concerns. It also mentions Kumar’s call to SP Bijarania, who is accused of conspiring with the DGP to suppress evidence.

Amneet Kumar’s letter emphasizes that her husband’s pain was “not hidden” and explanatory from the documented complaints. “My husband had been cautiously learning the directions of DGP Haryana: Sh. Shatrujeet Singh Kapoor and he would be falsely implicated in a frivolous and mischievous complaint by fabricating false evidence,” she quoted from the note. She further described the note as a “document of a broken spirit,” pushing her to the edge for her children and herself.

In a poignant plea, she wrote: “I am not only pleading for my family, but for the value of every honest officer’s life and dignity. This is not a case of individual suicide but a direct result of systematic and high-ranking officers who have used their positions to mentally torture him.” She demanded immediate arrest of the accused, warning of their influence in tampering with evidence and witnesses.

Background and Developments

Y. Puran Kumar, an Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) in Haryana, was found dead at his home on October 7, 2025, amid what his wife describes as “unimpeachable integrity” clashing with institutional bias. The family has delayed the post-mortem, insisting on assurances of action against those named in the note. Copies of the complaint have been forwarded to the Chief Secretary, Home Secretary (Chandigarh), DGP (Chandigarh), and SP (Chandigarh) for intervention.

As of October 9, police have yet to confirm FIR registration, but the incident underscores deepening concerns over caste discrimination and workplace harassment within India’s police forces.
