Indian Masterminds Stories

In a deeply disturbing turn of events, Inspector General of Police Mr. Y. Puran Kumar, a 2001-batch IPS officer serving in Haryana, died by suicide at his Chandigarh residence. His eight-page note has sent shockwaves across bureaucratic and political corridors, alleging sustained caste-based discrimination and psychological harassment by senior and retired officials.

Suicide Note Accuses 10 Top Officials Including State DGP

Mr. Kumar’s suicide note explicitly names 10 senior and retired police officers, including Haryana Director General of Police Mr. Shatrujeet Singh Kapur and Rohtak police chief Mr. Narendra Bijarnia. The document accuses them of “blatant caste-based discrimination, targeted mental harassment, public humiliation and atrocities” over several years.

Wife and IAS Officer Ms. Amneet P. Kumar Files Police Complaint

Ms. Amneet P. Kumar, Mr. Kumar’s wife and a senior IAS officer currently serving as Commissioner and Secretary in Haryana’s Department of Foreign Cooperation, has filed a formal police complaint alleging abetment to suicide by these officers. She termed the incident a result of “systematic persecution” faced by her husband for belonging to the Scheduled Caste community.

Ignored Pleas, Denied Leave, and Humiliating Treatment

The late officer detailed that the mistreatment began in 2020, following a temple visit in Ambala. He was reportedly denied timely earned leave to see his ailing father—resulting in his missing the final moments of his father’s life. The note describes this as a deep, irreparable emotional wound that remained unaddressed by senior officers, despite being reported to the then Chief Secretary.

Persistent Harassment Over Accommodation, Official Support

Mr. Kumar’s note further alleges that harassment persisted through bureaucratic obstacles like denial of an official vehicle, withdrawal of police attachment, and constant targeting via anonymous complaints. The mental toll, he claimed, was aggravated by the vindictive attitude of senior officers including Mr. Amitabh Dhillon and Mr. Sanjay Kumar.

Family Demands Accountability and Transparent Justice

In a heartfelt appeal, Ms. Kumar has demanded justice, not just in words but through visible legal and administrative action. “My children deserve answers. My husband’s decades of public service deserve dignity, not silence,” she said, describing the suicide note as a “document of broken spirit.”

Call for Policy Overhaul in Administrative Accountability

This tragic incident has sparked urgent conversations in governance and civil society about the treatment of Scheduled Caste officers within elite bureaucratic systems. Experts and retired officers are now calling for structural safeguards and independent grievance redressal mechanisms to ensure dignity and equality in service, irrespective of caste.
