Sources said the state government may consider sending Director General of Police Shatrujit Kapoor on leave and appointing an acting DGP in his place.
In a complaint to the Chandigarh Police on Wednesday, bureaucrat Y Puran Kumar’s wife Amneet P Kumar said an FIR should be registered against Kapoor and another senior IPS officer under sections 108 (abetment of suicide) of the Indian Justice Code (BNS) and provisions of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.
Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi and many senior officials were present in the meeting held at the Chief Minister’s official residence here.
On Thursday, Amneet Kumar sought the Chief Minister’s intervention to ensure that an FIR is lodged against those named in the “suicide note” typed by her husband.
Saini, along with some senior bureaucrats, on Thursday visited the official residence of senior Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer Amneet Kumar in Sector 24 here.
Saini, who arrived here on Thursday after concluding a three-day official visit to Japan, stayed at Kumar’s residence for about 50 minutes.
He assured Amneet Kumar of appropriate action, an official statement said.
Amneet Kumar is the Commissioner and Secretary of the Foreign Cooperation Department of the Government of Haryana. She was also in Japan as part of the Saini-led delegation. She returned to India on Wednesday after receiving the news of her husband’s death.
A memorandum was given to the Chief Minister by Amneet Kumar.
In the memorandum, they have sought immediate registration of FIR, suspension and arrest of the accused mentioned in Puran Kumar’s “suicide note” and the subsequent complaint submitted to the police, and lifelong protection to the family “as the case involves powerful, high-ranking officials of Haryana”.
“The suicide note clearly names the persons responsible for creating an environment of harassment, humiliation and mental torture, which directly led to this tragic act. This note is a dying declaration and should be treated as significant evidence demanding immediate legal action,” he said in the memorandum.
The body of 52-year-old Y Puran Kumar, a 2001 batch Indian Police Service (IPS) officer, was found with bullet wounds in a basement room of his house in Sector 11 here on Tuesday.
According to sources, in a note left behind by him, Puran Kumar has named several ‘senior officers’ and detailed the ‘mental harassment’ and humiliation he faced over the years.
Amneet Kumar, in her police complaint on Wednesday, claimed that her husband’s death was the result of “systematic harassment” by high-ranking officials.
