An eight-page suicide note containing grave accusations against high officials, including a former DGP, seven or eight IPS officers, and two IAS officers, was discovered on the body of Haryana ADGP Y. Puran Kumar, a 2001-batch IPS officer, in a startling revelation.

A forensic team has gathered a number of significant pieces of evidence, and police have taken pictures and videos of the entire site.

Authorities are presently reviewing the note’s content to determine its context and any potential accusations made.

In addition, authorities are looking into a number of administrative complaints and associated matters; as part of the investigation, family members are being questioned.

Although officials have not yet addressed the specifics or veracity of the individuals identified, the news has garnered a lot of interest in law enforcement and bureaucratic circles.

THE HISTORY AND THE ALLEGATIONS

Puran Kumar had a lengthy history of disagreements with senior authorities on allegations of administrative harassment, caste-based discrimination, and improper promotions. He pointed out bias against Scheduled Caste officers, preferential treatment in postings and official privileges, and violations of Home Ministry standards in numerous letters to the Chief Minister and other bureaucrats over the years.

Sources claim that caste discrimination, biased postings, errors in ACRs, denial of official housing, and stress from administrative complaints and litigation are among the issues highlighted in the suicide note. According to reports, the most serious accusations were made against a former DGP.
