Haryana IPS Y. Puran Kumar Suicide case: IAS Wife Refuses Postmortem, May Seek CBI Probe, 30+ Officers Named in Suicide Note

Family Alleges Harassment; Suicide Note Names Dozens of Officers; Wife Delays Postmortem Until Daughter Returns
Indian Masterminds Stories

Chandigarh: In a tragic and shocking development, senior IPS officer Y. Puran Kumar, serving as Inspector General of Police (IGP) in Haryana, died by suicide on Tuesday. His body is currently being kept at the Government Hospital in Sector 16, Chandigarh, while family members, including his wife—senior IAS officer Amanit P. Kumar—have refused to allow the postmortem to proceed until their elder daughter returns from the United States.

According to sources, the postmortem will be conducted on Thursday (October 9), followed by the last rites.

Wife Returns from Japan, Takes a Strong Stand

Amanit P. Kumar, who was abroad in Japan at the time of her husband’s death, returned to Chandigarh on Wednesday morning. Upon arrival, she first went to her official residence in Sector 24, where she was met by senior officials, including Haryana Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi.

Sources confirm that IAS Amanit P. Kumar has taken a firm and emotionally charged stand, indicating the possibility of seeking a CBI investigation into the circumstances surrounding her husband’s death. She reportedly accused certain senior officers of being responsible for driving her husband to take such an extreme step.

Visit to Scene and Hospital

Following the meeting with officials, Amanit visited the house in Sector 11, Chandigarh, where Puran Kumar had died by suicide. She then went to the hospital where his body is being kept.

Explosive Suicide Note Names 30+ Officers

A key development in the case is the discovery of an eight-page suicide note written in English by Puran Kumar, dated October 7—a day before his death. According to sources, the note names between 30 to 35 IPS and IAS officers, and contains serious allegations of:

  • Caste-based discrimination
  • Bias in postings and denial of government accommodation
  • Deliberate irregularities in Annual Confidential Reports (ACRs)
  • Administrative harassment and legal intimidation
  • Mental torture through repeated notices issued by a DGP-rank officer

The note was reportedly sent to his wife and two other officers prior to his death. Additionally, a will dated October 6 was found at the scene, in which Puran Kumar left all his property to his wife.

The Chandigarh Police have not commented on the content of the suicide note or the identities of those named, likely due to the sensitive nature of the allegations and the high-ranking status of the officers involved.

Political Reactions and Public Demands

The incident has sparked political attention as well. Ambala MP Varun Chaudhary expressed sorrow over the officer’s death and demanded that the suicide note be made public. He also called for the formation of a judicial committee to ensure a transparent and impartial investigation.

Chaudhary emphasized the need for accountability, especially given the names of influential bureaucrats in the suicide note, and warned that such individuals could potentially derail or influence any internal inquiry.

Two Key Developments That May Have Triggered the Suicide

1. Bribery Allegations Involving Gunman

Earlier this year, Rohtak police arrested Sushil Kumar, the gunman of IG Puran Kumar, on bribery charges. He was accused of extorting ₹2–2.5 lakh monthly from liquor contractor Praveen Bansal, backed by CCTV and audio evidence.

Rohtak SP Narendra Bijarnia confirmed that during interrogation, Sushil Kumar mentioned Puran Kumar’s name. However, Puran Kumar was not served any notice in this matter. Family sources claim this incident, despite lack of formal action, contributed to his mental distress.

2. Abrupt Transfer to Punishment Post

Puran Kumar, who had only recently been appointed IG of the Rohtak Range, was leading a high-profile murder investigation in Bhiwani (the Manisha case), when he was abruptly removed from his post on September 29 and reassigned to the Police Training College in Sunaria (Rohtak)—a post widely viewed as punitive in police circles.

He reportedly went on a five-day leave starting October 2, after which he never returned to active duty.

A Family in Mourning, a System Under Scrutiny

Puran Kumar’s death has ignited a storm within Haryana’s administrative and political circles. His wife’s refusal to allow a postmortem until their daughter returns signals deep mistrust of the system, while the demand for a CBI inquiry and public release of the suicide note raises serious questions about the work culture and alleged systemic harassment within the bureaucracy.

With high-ranking officials reportedly named in the note, the coming days could see mounting pressure on the state government and judiciary to act decisively and transparently.
