Chandigarh, October 10 (IANS) Punjab Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Malvinder Singh Kang on Friday accused Haryana IPS officer Y. Puran Kumar and expressed his heartfelt condolences on the tragic death of the respected officer.
He expressed grief over the loss of a committed officer, who had risen from an ordinary Dalit family to a prestigious position in the Indian Police Service (IPS).
Speaking to the media here, Kang said, “The manner in which he died raises serious questions about the system, and my question to the Indian government is, what direction are you taking the country? It is extremely unfortunate that an eminent IPS officer, who rose to this position purely through merit and dedication, was driven to suicide.”
“The questions his death has raised are huge for both the Haryana BJP government and the entire system.”
Kang highlighted the systemic issues highlighted by the case and stressed the need for accountability.
“On the one hand, the Chief Justice of India, a member of a Dalit family, is targeted with a shoe, and on the other, an able IPS officer from Haryana, who worked tirelessly for the country, is put to unbearable pressure. This raises serious concerns about governance, the treatment of Dalits in positions of responsibility and the functioning of our system.”
The MP urged both the Haryana government and the central administration to take immediate and transparent action to ensure justice to the officer and prevent such tragedies in future.
Kang also assured the family of his support and commitment to raise the issue at all appropriate forums.
Kang said in a statement, “It is a sad day for the country when our officers are not safe even in service and systemic neglect forces them to take extreme measures. The system should reflect fairness, justice and respect for every person, regardless of race or background.”
