Congress Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi visited the family of Haryana IPS officer Y Puran Kumar in Chandigarh, following his tragic death by suicide on October 7. Kumar, a 2001-batch officer, allegedly faced caste-based discrimination and harassment from senior officials, including Haryana DGP Shatrujeet Kapur and SP Narendra Bijarnia, as detailed in his suicide note. His wife, Amneet P. Kumar, an IAS officer, has demanded that these officers be named in the FIR for abetting her husband's suicide. During his visit, Gandhi emphasized that Puran Kumar's death was not just a personal tragedy but a reflection of systemic injustice faced by Dalits in the country. He criticized Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini for failing to act on his assurances and urged both the Prime Minister and Chief Minister to fulfill their commitments to the family. The case has drawn national attention, with opposition leaders demanding immediate action against the accused officers. In response to the public outcry, the Haryana government has placed DGP Kapur on forced leave, and an FIR has been registered. The investigation continues as authorities address the serious allegations raised by Kumar's family. #RahulGandhi #YPuranKumar #HaryanaIPS #CasteDiscrimination #DalitRights #JusticeForPuranKumar #HaryanaGovernment #PoliceReform #SystemicInjustice #PoliticalAccountability
