A day after 2001-batch Haryana IPS officer Y. Puran Kumar allegedly died by suicide, questions are being raised about the inclusion of his name in the FIR registered in Rohtak based on the complaint of a liquor contractor.

Sources close to his family said that his name could not have been included in the FIR without the permission of the state government.

The Rohtak Police had, on Monday, registered an FIR based on a complaint by a liquor contractor, alleging that Sushil, a person who was allegedly close to Kumar, then posted as IG, Rohtak, had sought a bribe of Rs 2.5 lakh in the officer's name.

The contractor submitted CCTV footage and audio recordings as evidence.

While the police had arrested Sushil that same evening and produced him in court, Kumar's name also figured in the FIR.
