The Haryana police are being looked at again because a new FIR has been made against the wife of the late IPS officer Y Puran Kumar and three other people. This happened because of the tragic suicide of Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Sandeep Lathar. In his death note, he reportedly named senior police officers and gave shocking details about corruption and harassment in the police force. This new development adds to the already complicated case, which has made people very suspicious about how Haryana’s police system works.
The FIR names Y Puran Kumar’s wife and three other people
Reports say that the FIR was filed after detectives found connections between the deceased ASI’s claims and important people close to Y Puran Kumar. The late officer’s wife and three other people have been arrested on charges of helping someone commit suicide and a criminal plot. The police are now looking into what each charged person may have done to influence or put pressure on the ASI before he died.
Sources say that the FIR was made because of strong evidence found on Lathar’s phone and in a note. Both of these items are said to show that the police department has a toxic environment.
The background: a string of suicides and claims
It became clear that this is not the first suicide related to corruption and harassment in the Haryana Police, which made the case even worse. Earlier, another officer said that top officials, including Y Puran Kumar, were taking bribes and treating their subordinates badly. Many people are angry about the claims, which have led the state government to start several internal probes.
Human rights activists and opposition leaders want an open investigation because they say that mental harassment and widespread corruption are making honest police officers give up.
Outrage from the public and an ongoing investigation
People are angry again because the FIR was filed, which has brought the issue of police responsibility back into the spotlight in Haryana. There are a lot of posts on social media sites calling for justice for ASI Lathar. The state’s Home Department has promised an open and fair probe and said that no one will be spared if they are found guilty, no matter how important or powerful they are.
