Probe Into Haryana IPS Officer's Suicide Progresses as Family Consents to Autopsy

The family of Haryana IPS officer Y Puran Kumar, who died by suicide on October 7, has consented to an autopsy after a week-long standoff. The decision followed action by the state government, which sent DGP Shatrujeet Kapur on leave—one of several senior officers Kumar accused of caste-based harassment in a detailed note. Kumar's wife, IAS officer Amneet P Kumar, stated her consent was based on assurances of a fair and transparent investigation into the grave allegations.
