Manohar Lal Khattar meets family of IPS Y Puran Kumar, offers condolences

Chandigarh: Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Thursday visited the family of Haryana IPS officer Y Puran Kumar, who allegedly died by suicide, and expressed condolences.

The minister met Kumar's wife and IAS officer Amneet P Kumar at their residence here.

Kumar, a 2001-batch Indian Police Service (IPS) officer, allegedly shot himself at his Sector 11 private residence on October 7.

In an eight-page 'final note' purportedly left behind by Kumar, he had accused eight senior IPS officers of "blatant caste-based discrimination, targeted mental harassment, public humiliation, and atrocities".
