The Special Investigation Team (SIT) formed to investigate the suicide of senior Haryana IPS officer Y Puran Kumar (IPS:2001:HY) has completed questioning of all 14 IPS and IAS officers named in the suicide note. Their statements have also been recorded. Besides, statements of more than 70 witnesses have also been recorded by the SIT in this case, but no one has so far been arrested or held responsible for the Puran Kumar’s death.
Puran Kumar had named 14 retired and serving IAS and IPS officers of Haryana in his suicide note, including Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi, DGP Shatrujeet Kapoor, former Chief Secretary TVSN Prasad, former Additional Chief Secretary Rajeev Arora, former DGP Manoj Yadav, ADGP Amitabh Dhillon, former DGP PK Agrawal, ADGP Sandeep Khirwar, ADGP Sanjay Kumar, Principal Secretary Kala Ramchandran, ADGP M Ravi Kiran, IG Pankaj Nain, IG Kulwinder Singh, and SP Narendra Bijarnia.
The investigating agency is now waiting for the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) report to piece together evidence in the investigation and file its report in the court. Official sources say the FSL report will play a key role in determining the future course of legal action. According to him, the SIT is examining all aspects of the case in detail to ascertain the circumstances and reasons that led to Kumar’s suicide.
As per the suicide note and the police complaint lodged by his IAS wife, Amneet P. Kumar, the FIR naming the deceased officer’s gunman, Sushil Kumar, was registered as part of a conspiracy, and planned pressure was built on the deceased.
It should be recalled that an FIR had been registered on Oct 6, 2025, at the Urban Estate police station at Rohtak against IPS officer’s gunman, Sushil Kumar, for allegedly demanding a bribe, and the very next day, Sushil Kumar was arrested. On the same day, Puran Kumar committed suicide at his residence in Chandigarh.
A Rohtak resident, Praveen Bansal, complained to police that he received threats in the name of protection from goons, alleging that a bribe of Rs 2.5 lakh was demanded by Sushil Kumar for providing security.
