Chandigarh, October 10 — A day after Chandigarh Police registered an FIR against Haryana DGP Shatrujeet Singh Kapur and 10 other senior officers in connection with the alleged suicide of IPS officer Y. Puran Kumar, the officer’s wife, IAS officer Amneet P. Kumar, has written to the UT Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Kanwardeep Kaur, seeking amendments and corrections to the document.
In her letter submitted on Friday, Amneet alleged that the copy of FIR No. 156 dated October 9, 2025, given to her was “incomplete and unsigned,” missing crucial details about the accused and containing diluted sections of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.
Amneet, who serves as Commissioner and Secretary in Haryana’s Department of Foreign Cooperation, said that although the FIR was handed to her personally at her official residence in Sector 24A, the names of the accused officers had been omitted. “As per my complaint, the names of the accused — (1) Shatrujeet Singh Kapur, Haryana Director General of Police, and (2) Narendra Bijarniya, IPS, Rohtak Superintendent of Police — have not been entered in the FIR. According to the prescribed FIR format, all accused should be clearly listed under Column No. 7,” she wrote, urging that the report be amended accordingly.
The FIR was registered a day earlier based on a “final note” allegedly written by Puran Kumar before he died by suicide at his Sector 11 residence in Chandigarh on Tuesday. The 52-year-old 2001-batch IPS officer, who was serving as an Inspector General in Haryana, reportedly named senior officers for harassing and maligning him.
Amneet further alleged that the FIR invoked weaker provisions of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and requested the inclusion of Section 3(2)(v), which pertains to caste-based offences resulting in serious harm or death.
She also raised concern over not receiving a copy of her husband’s “final note,” which was said to have been recovered from his pocket and bag and formed the basis of the FIR. “I have not received any copy of the said ‘final note’ to compare it with the version referenced in the FIR. I request that certified copies of both be supplied to me immediately for record and verification,” she stated.
Meanwhile, the post-mortem examination of Puran Kumar has yet to be conducted. The body remains at the Government Multi-Specialty Hospital, Sector 16, Chandigarh, and is awaiting transfer to the Post-Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER).
Amneet, who was part of a delegation led by Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini in Japan, returned on Wednesday after learning of her husband’s death. Kumar’s body was discovered in the basement of their home with a gunshot wound, triggering widespread calls for an impartial and high-level probe into the case.
