ASI suicide case: Family seeks govt job for widow; CM has given consent, says Khattar

Union Minister and former Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar visited Rohtak on Thursday and met with the bereaved family of ASI Sandeep at PGIMS, assuring them of all possible support.

Speaking to the media later, Khattar said the family had requested a government job for ASI’s widow and financial assistance for the education of his children.

“Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini has assured the family of providing a government job and taking care of the children's study expenses. Additional financial benefits will also be provided as per policy,” Khattar said.

Calling both recent suicide incidents — including that of IPS officer Y Puran Kumar — “deeply unfortunate,” Khattar appealed to the public to refrain from politicising the tragedies or attributing a caste angle to them.
