Meanwhile, SC category IAS-IPS and HCS officers included in Haryana bureaucracy are seen openly standing with Puran Kumar’s family.
While talking to Dainik Bhaskar App, a senior IAS officer said on the condition of anonymity – Senior IPS officer Puran Kumar, coming from SC community, was being harassed for a long time. Ignoring their seniority, they were given non-cadre postings. He was appointed IG Home Guard in March-2023. Puran Kumar had also complained to the Chief Secretary in October 2023 that he was being appointed to a non-cadre-non-existing post.
Nine months later, in the administrative reshuffle in November 2023, Puran Kumar was appointed IG (Telecommunications). Although it was a cadre post, it is not considered a main stream post in the police department.
According to a senior IAS officer, in April-2025, when Puran Kumar somehow managed to get the main stream posting of IG of Rohtak Range on his own strength, the eyebrows of many senior officers of the state were raised. These officers wanted to bring Puran Kumar down at any cost.
After 5 months, on 29 September 2025, Puran Kumar was removed from the post of IG of Rohtak Range and sent to the Police Training College in Sunaria. After joining duty there, Puran Kumar went on five-day leave on October 2. He was to join duty on October 8, but a day before that, on October 7, he committed suicide by shooting himself in his house in Sector-11, Chandigarh.
Y Puran Kumar committed suicide by shooting himself in this house.
Know how Y Puran Kumar was discriminated against…
Case filed against junior officer, mentioned nine times in FIR According to a senior IAS officer belonging to the SC community, in order to humiliate Puran Kumar, who became the IG of Rohtak range, on the complaint of a liquor businessman, an FIR was lodged in the Urban Estate police station of Rohtak against the junior officer who used to salute Puran Kumar there till a few days ago. Of course, Puran Kumar’s gunman Sushil was named in this FIR but the real intention was to implicate Puran Kumar. For this reason, he, IG Rohtak and IG office were mentioned nine times in the FIR. The purpose of this entire exercise was to make Puran Kumar feel humiliated. Not only this, the rule is that if there is a complaint of corruption by an ADGP level officer, then only a DG level officer can investigate it, but this did not happen in the case of the FIR registered in Rohtak.
Family and society will fight in two phases All the officers and people of the society belonging to SC category have given full support to the family of late Puran Kumar. Also said that this case should be looked at in two phases. First – FIR should be immediately filed against the current DGP Shatrujit Kapoor and Rohtak SP Narendra Bijarania and their arrest and suspension. Second – The officers who are accused of caste-based harassment in the suicide note should be investigated impartially. There may also be a demand for CBI investigation.
IAS officer wife gave 2 representations Puran Kumar’s wife and senior Haryana IAS officer Amneet P Kumar lodged a complaint at Sector-11 police station of Chandigarh Police on Wednesday. In this, legal action was demanded against DGP and Rohtak SP. However, when CM Nayab Saini reached his residence on Thursday to express his condolences, Amneet P Kumar gave another representation. It was demanded that an FIR be registered against all the officers named in her husband’s suicide note and all of them should be arrested. The suicide note contains names of 15 current or retired IAS-IPS officers.
On Wednesday, Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi, who came to meet IG Puran Kumar’s wife, spoke to the media. But, he did not give any information related to the action.
