Dalit Cop's Suicide Note Names DGP; Haryana Govt Acts As Rahul Gandhi Meets Family

This special report focuses on the political firestorm following the suicide of senior Dalit IPS officer Y. Puran Kumar in Haryana, implicating top officials including DGP Shatrujeet Kapur and prompting a visit from Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to the grieving family. According to the report, 'the officer had alleged in the suicide note that he was basically discriminated because of his caste'. The case has escalated with the Nayab Singh Saini-led government sending DGP Kapur on leave and appointing an officiating DGP. However, the officer's family, who allege a sustained witch-hunt, is demanding arrests and has withheld consent for a post-mortem. With a Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe underway and leaders like Rahul Gandhi framing it as a systemic issue of Dalit atrocities, the case carries significant political ramifications ahead of elections.
