Autopsy of Senior Officer Amidst Allegations: A Quest for Justice

The family of Y Puran Kumar, a Haryana IPS officer, consented to an autopsy after assurance from Chandigarh Police and the Haryana government to conduct a fair investigation and take action against any erring officials. The post-mortem is being conducted at PGIMER to ensure transparency.

The autopsy of Haryana IPS officer Y Puran Kumar, who allegedly committed suicide, will be conducted, as his family agreed following assurances from authorities. Kumar's wife, IAS officer Amneet P Kumar, gave consent after commitments of an impartial investigation and action against officials involved in the case.

The autopsy is set to take place at the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) with full transparency measures, including supervision by a magistrate and videography. The decisive agreement came after the family initially refused consent until promises of accountability were made.

Chandigarh Police had sought a court's direction for the family to identify the body. This development marks a significant step in the investigation to uncover the truth behind the officer's tragic death while adhering to the procedural laws.
