Haryana's Police Morale: A Tale of Two Worlds

Haryana DGP O P Singh refutes claims of lowered police morale following the alleged suicides of two officers. Despite social media narratives, Singh maintains the department remains robust. The incidents have caused sadness, yet the force continues its duty. Police Commemoration Day observed with tributes to fallen heroes.

Recently, alleged suicides of an IPS officer and an assistant sub-inspector have raised questions about the morale of Haryana's police force. However, DGP O P Singh has dismissed these concerns, attributing them to misleading social media narratives rather than reality.

IPS officer Y Puran Kumar was found dead with a gunshot wound at his Chandigarh home, and a week later, ASI Sandeep Kumar allegedly took his own life in Rohtak, accusing Puran of corruption. Despite the tragedy, DGP Singh assured that the police force's morale remains intact, emphasizing their commitment to public service.

The observations came during Police Commemoration Day, where Singh paid tribute to officers who have died in the line of duty, reiterating the importance of respecting their sacrifice and supporting their families.
