Chandigarh (Haryana) [India], October 24 (HBTV): Senior IAS officer Amneet P Kumar, wife of late IPS officer Y Puran Kumar, has written to Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini seeking immediate registration of an FIR, suspension and arrest of the accused named in her husband's suicide note and complaint, along with lifelong security for her family.
In her letter, Amneet expressed profound grief and a deep sense of injustice over her husband's untimely demise, describing him as a distinguished and decorated police officer who served the state and the nation with integrity and courage. She noted that Y Puran Kumar, a recipient of the President's Medal for Meritorious Service, was a source of inspiration for the Scheduled Caste community.
Amneet stated that despite a clear suicide note naming those responsible for harassment and humiliation, no FIR has been registered even 48 hours after the incident. She emphasised that the note constitutes a dying declaration and must be treated as vital evidence.
She alleged that powerful and high-ranking officials named in the note are influencing the Chandigarh Police to delay action. Citing the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, she noted that no preliminary inquiry is permissible once a cognizable offence under the Act is disclosed.
Expressing fear for her safety and that of her family, Amneet requested the Chief Minister's personal intervention to ensure justice and protection. She urged immediate registration of an FIR against all those named, suspension and arrest of the accused, and permanent security cover for the family, especially for her two daughters, who are under mental distress. She also sought protection of the family's dignity and rights.
Calling her husband's death a test of faith in justice and the rule of law, Amneet said the system's silence deepens the pain of the family and community. She appealed to the Chief Minister to act swiftly so that justice is neither delayed nor denied. (ANI)
