Heavy Security has been deployed outside PGI Hospital in Chandigarh as the family members of Haryana IPS officer Y Puran Kumar, who allegedly shot himself dead on October 7, have finally agreed to the post-mortem, after which the cremation is scheduled to take place at 4 pm on Wednesday, October 15.
Puran Kumar's wife, IAS officer Anmeet P Kumar and family members earlier refused for the post-mortem, demanding the arrest of former Haryana DGP Shatrujeet Kapur and Rohtak SP Narendra Bijarniya, whose names appeared in her late husband's suicide note.
The post-mortem will be conducted at PGI Hospital in Chandigarh. Kanwardeep Kaur, Chandigarh SSP, met the family of deceased Puran Kumar before accompanying them to the hospital. The consent for the autopsy came the day after Chandigarh Police asked a court to direct the late officer's family to identify the body for post-mortem examination.
