Chandigarh: Haryana witnessed a shocking turn of events as two police officers, including Rohtak ASI Sandeep Lathar, tragically ended their lives.
In response, Haryana DGP OP Singh firmly stated that claims of broken morale within the state police are misleading, emphasizing that social media narratives are “feeding America” with sensational content rather than reflecting reality.
