Rahul Gandhi Visits Family of Late IPS Officer in Controversy-Laden Tragedy

Rahul Gandhi met the family of deceased Haryana IPS officer Y Puran Kumar, allegedly a suicide victim, amid allegations of caste-based discrimination. The officer's wife, a senior IAS officer, demands action against accused IPS officials. The incident has intensified opposition criticism of the Haryana government.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi visited the family of Haryana IPS officer Y Puran Kumar after the officer's alleged suicide on October 7.

Kumar, a 2001-batch IPS officer, reportedly shot himself and left an eight-page note accusing senior officials of caste discrimination and harassment.

Gandhi's visit comes as the opposition increases pressure on the Haryana government. The officer's wife demands legal action against officials named in the note, delaying postmortem proceedings.
