CHANDIGARH, Oct 11: The Haryana government on Saturday shunted out Rohtak Superintendent of Police Narendra Bijarniya, one of the cops against whom IPS officer Y Puran Kumar’s wife was seeking action for allegedly abetting his suicide, even as the Opposition said that Kumar’s family is not getting justice.
In his first comments in the sensational case that involves allegations of caste-based discrimination against the deceased officer, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said whoever is found guilty in the probe will face action irrespective of their position and asked the Opposition not to politicise it.
Chandigarh DGP Sagar Preet Hooda, who visited the residence of Puran Kumar, said his family members have refused to give their consent for the post-mortem due to some grievances and discussion are underway to resolve them.
In a ‘final note’ purportedly left behind by Kumar (52), after he allegedly shot himself dead at his residence on Tuesday, he had accused eight senior cops, including Bijarniya and Haryana DGP Shatrujeet Kapur, of “blatant caste-based discrimination, targeted mental harassment, public humiliation and atrocities”.
In a brief official order issued on Saturday, IPS officer Surinder Singh Bhoria was appointed as the new Rohtak SP.
It said the posting order of Bijarniya will be issued separately. (PTI)
