Four Days, No Post-Mortem: IPS Y Puran Kumar’s Family Demands Justice Before Last Rites, Lists Key Actions

Justice Before Funeral: FIR Filed, But Family Holds Firm After IPS Officer’s Suicide. IAS Wife Refuses Cremation of IPS Husband, Demands Arrests and Accountability
Indian Masterminds Stories

Chandigarh/NCR: Four days after the tragic suicide of senior Haryana IPS officer Y. Puran Kumar (2001 bath), his family continues to refuse both post-mortem and last rites, citing deep dissatisfaction with the slow pace of justice.

The grieving family, led by his wife 2001 batch IAS officer Amneet P. Kumar, has made four major demands to the Haryana government, asserting that justice must be served before any ceremonial farewell can be given.

Despite an FIR filed late Thursday against Haryana DGP Shatrujeet Kapur and 12 other high-ranking officers, the family insists that only one of their demands has been met so far.

A Suicide Note Naming Top Brass Shakes the System

The suicide note reportedly left behind by Y. Puran Kumar names senior officers across multiple levels of Haryana’s police and civil administration. These include –

  • DGP Shatrujeet Kapur
  • ADGPs Amitabh Dhillon and Sanjay Kumar
  • IG Pankaj Nain
  • IPS officers Kala Ramachandran, Sandeep Khirwar, and Sibar Kaviraj
  • Former DGPs Manoj Yadav and P.K. Aggarwal
  • Former Chief Secretary TVSN Prasad
  • SP Narendra Bijarniya, among others

The letter and suicide note detail alleged administrative harassment and caste-based discrimination, which Amanit Kumar claims were consistent and targeted, pushing the officer to take the extreme step.

The Four Demands Made by IAS Officer Amneet Kumar

In a strongly-worded letter to Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, Amneet Kumar laid out the family’s demands and concerns. These are –

  • Immediate arrest and suspension of all named officers in the suicide note.
  • Permanent security for herself and their two daughters.
  • Protection of the family’s dignity and legal rights.
  • Post-mortem and last rites only after a fair and transparent investigation is initiated with concrete action.

The letter emphasizes that these are not merely emotional requests, but essential steps toward restoring public trust in justice and governance.

‘A Test of Faith in Justice and Governance’

Calling her husband a “dutiful, courageous, and honest officer” who stood up for marginalized communities, especially the Scheduled Caste (SC) population, IAS Amneet wrote that his death is not just a personal tragedy, but a “test of the government’s moral compass.”

She also alleged a 48-hour delay in registering the FIR, attributing the delay to the influence and power of the officers named in the complaint.

“Justice delayed is justice denied,” she wrote, warning that the family may be subjected to threats or false cases for standing up to the system.

CM Responds, But Family Remains Firm

Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini has offered condolences and promised a fair and impartial investigation. However, this assurance has not been enough to convince the family to move forward with the post-mortem or funeral proceedings.

The refusal to cremate until meaningful action is taken has drawn nationwide attention and sparked intense debate on administrative accountability.

Silence in the System, Support from Society

While most senior officials have remained tight-lipped, several social justice groups, civil society members, and police reform advocates have expressed support for the family’s demands. The incident has exposed deep cracks within the state’s police structure and raised broader questions about institutional bias and accountability.

Amidst public outrage, the family insists they will wait as long as it takes to ensure that Y. Puran Kumar’s service and sacrifice are honored – not with ceremonial flowers, but with justice.
