Gurugram: IPS officer Y. Puran Kumar’s suicide has exposed deep fissures in Haryana’s bureaucracy, with a large faction unhappy with their seniors to the extent that they have developed a lack of trust after the complaint of Kumar’s wife, Amneet P. Kumar, an IAS officer, against Haryana DGP Shatrujeet Kapoor and Rohtak SP Narendra Bijarniya.

The Haryana Civil Services (HCS) officers have openly come out in support of Kumar’s family and demanded the removal of all top officers sitting in posts where they can influence the probe into the IPS officer’s suicide. Meanwhile, several IAS and IPS officers, too—particularly those from the Scheduled Caste community—are also seething over the way a young IPS officer had to end his life due to the politics of those occupying top posts.
