Three days after 2001-batch IPS officer Y Puran Kumar shot himself at his Sector 11 residence, the family of the deceased officer said the post-mortem and cremation would be held only after the FIR is amended to include the names of DGP Shatrujeet Kappor and SP, Rohtak, Narender Bijarniya, as the accused and the sections applied are changed to reflect the crime committed.

"Further, these two officers must be asked to proceed on leave in keeping with the commitment given by the Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini. He had assured the family yesterday that a decision to send the two officers would be taken by 5 pm. However, nothing has happened. The arrests can take place subsequently, but the bare minimum should be done without delay," a family member stated.
