A purported suicide note has been confirmed to have been recovered.
National Commission for Scheduled Castes Issue Notices to Top Officials in IPS Alleged Suicide Case: The National Commission for Scheduled Castes (NCSC), Government of India, has taken suo motu cognizance of a news article published in The Indian Express on October 9, 2025, titled “IPS officer alleges caste bias in ‘suicide note’, names top officers.”
The Commission has decided to investigate and inquire into the matter and has issued notices to the Chief Secretary of Chandigarh, Government of the Union Territory of Chandigarh, and the Director General of Police, Chandigarh Police Headquarters, directing them to submit an action-taken report within seven days.
The Commission has warned that if the officials fail to submit the report within the stipulated time frame, it will issue summons for their appearance in person or through a representative before the Commission.
According to the news article mentioned in the notice, in the alleged suicide case of Haryana-cadre IPS officer Y. Puran Kumar (52), who was found dead with a gunshot wound at his residence in Chandigarh on Tuesday, the officer named nine serving IPS officers of the Haryana Police, a retired IPS officer, and three retired IAS officers in a purported suicide note, accusing them of caste-based discrimination, public humiliation, targeted mental harassment, and atrocities that pushed him to take the extreme step.
As per the report, Kumar’s wife has filed a police complaint seeking the registration of an FIR against Haryana Director General of Police (DGP) Shatrujeet Kapur and Rohtak Superintendent of Police (SP) Narendra Bijarniya, alleging a well-planned conspiracy to implicate Kumar in a 'frivolous and fabricated' complaint.
The wife was reportedly in Japan on an official trip when the incident occurred and returned on Wednesday.
However, a senior police officer cited in the report denied the allegations, stating that these were made in response to the government’s crackdown on corruption.
A purported suicide note has been confirmed to have been recovered. Kumar, who belonged to a Scheduled Caste, reportedly recalled incidents of mental and administrative torture.
“Continued blatant caste-based discrimination, targeted mental harassment, public humiliation, and atrocities by concerned senior officers of Haryana since August 2020, which is now unbearable,” Kumar wrote in an eight-page suicide note, the report said.
Investigations are underway.
