In a recent development in the alleged suicide case of Haryana IPS officer Y Puran Kumar (52), the state police has added relevant sections of the Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribes Prevention of Atrocities (POA) Act to the FIR.

The police acted after a plea by his wife, senior IAS officer Amneet P Kumar, requesting that the diluted sections in the FIR be amended to include relevant provisions of the SC/ST Act. Meanwhile, one of the officers named in Kumar's ' final note ' was removed from his post for allegedly discriminating against him due to his caste.

Puran Kumar belonged to a Dalit community.
