On October 7, 2025, Y Puran Kumar, a 2001-batch Indian Police Service (IPS) officer, was found deceased at his residence in Chandigarh Sector 11. The Chandigarh Police subsequently established a six-member Special Investigation Team (SIT) on October 10, 2025, to investigate the circumstances of his death. Reports indicate that Kumar left an eight-page note, which allegedly named eight senior IPS officers, including Haryana DGP Shatrujeet Kapur and Rohtak SP Narendra Bijarniya, accusing them of harassment and maligning his reputation. Following these allegations, the Haryana government transferred Mr. Bijarniya on October 11, 2025. In a letter addressed to Kumar’s wife, Amneet P Kumar, a senior IAS officer, Congress parliamentary party chairperson Sonia Gandhi conveyed her condolences and asserted that the incident underscores how a “prejudiced and biased” attitude among those in power can deprive even senior officials of social justice.
