In a dramatic late-night decision, the Haryana government has sent Director General of Police (DGP) Shatrujeet Kapur on leave following a massive controversy over the tragic death of senior IPS officer Y. Puran Kumar, who had reportedly named Kapur in his eight-page suicide note.
The development came just hours before Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, was scheduled to visit the bereaved family of the deceased officer. Sources confirmed that the move was taken amid growing public pressure and demands from the officer’s family for Kapur’s removal before performing the last rites.
According to Rajiv Jaitly, Media Adviser to the Chief Minister, the decision to send Kapur on leave was confirmed late in the night, though the official notification was yet to be issued at the time of filing this report.
Y. Puran Kumar, a 2001-batch IPS officer of the Haryana cadre, allegedly took his own life on October 7, leaving behind a detailed note that mentioned DGP Kapur and other concerns, sparking widespread outrage across police circles and political corridors.
The standoff intensified after the family of the deceased officer refused to allow the autopsy or cremation until the government took concrete action. The case has now turned into a major political flashpoint in Haryana, with opposition parties demanding a judicial probe into the circumstances leading to the officer’s death.
As investigations continue, the state government faces mounting questions over accountability, administrative transparency, and the emotional toll within the police force.
