After Eight Days of Deadlock, Postmortem of IPS Y Puran Kumar Finally Approved

National News: Haryana IPS officer and ADGP Y Puran Kumar’s death had sparked a major controversy. After his suicide on October 7, the family refused to allow postmortem. For eight days, discussions continued between the administration and the family. On Wednesday, his wife, IAS officer Amneet P Kumar, finally gave written consent. This has cleared a major hurdle in the investigation.

Wife Grants Written Permission

Amneet P Kumar had raised several doubts about the investigation. She argued that unless action was taken against the officers named in the suicide note, the postmortem should not be conducted. However, after court intervention and persistent appeals by the administration, she agreed. Her decision now opens the way for the legal process to move forward.

Transparency to be Ensured

The family made it clear that transparency was non-negotiable. Therefore, the postmortem will be video recorded and carried out under the supervision of senior officers. Relatives said this was the only way to ensure that truth comes out and no manipulation takes place. The administration has also assured complete fairness in the procedure.

Court Issues Notice to Wife

Earlier on Tuesday, the Chandigarh District Court had issued a notice to Amneet P Kumar. The notice was in response to an application filed by the police, requesting permission for postmortem. The court emphasized that for a proper investigation, postmortem was mandatory. Under this legal pressure, the family had little choice but to reconsider their stand.

IPS Officer’s Postmortem Delayed Dispute

Y Puran Kumar shot himself on October 7 at his residence in Sector-11, Chandigarh. His sudden death shocked the police fraternity and state officials. However, due to the family’s refusal, his body remained without postmortem for over a week. This created immense tension between authorities and relatives, making the case even more complicated.

Family Demands Fair Probe

The family has consistently demanded a fair and impartial investigation. They insist that the names mentioned in the suicide note must not be ignored. Their approval for postmortem came with the condition that accountability will be ensured. The family believes only an unbiased inquiry will deliver justice to the late officer.

Case Under Close Watch

Officials now say that the postmortem will be conducted strictly according to law. The report will help investigators understand the circumstances of his death. The case has drawn statewide attention, given the senior rank of the officer. With the family’s consent, hopes are high that the truth will finally come out and the long dispute will settle.
