In a breakthrough in the case surrounding the death of IPS officer Y Puran Kumar, his family has finally agreed to a post-mortem examination. The officer allegedly took his own life on October 7, sparking a chain of events that cast light on serious allegations within the police force.

The deceased officer's family had initially withheld consent for an autopsy, demanding accountability from Haryana police officers cited in Kumar's alleged 'final note'. The Chandigarh Police sought judicial intervention, prompting the family to identify the body at PGIMER.

Amidst political pressure and public protests, the Haryana government has reacted by placing DGP Shatrujeet Kapur on leave, transferring other key officers. The case continues to stir emotions, with opposition leaders and Dalit organizations calling for swift justice and thorough investigation.
