Puran Kumar had reportedly blamed Kapur of harassment, forcing him to take the extreme step in his suicide note.

In fact, Amneet, in her complaint to the Chandigarh Police, has demanded the registration of a case and the immediate arrest of the accused named in the suicide note. Meanwhile, the Haryana Civil Services (Executive Branch) Officers' Association has extended "full solidarity and moral support" to Amneet Kumar.

"The association urges that his matter be treated with utmost seriousness,sensitivity and impartiality, ensuring that a fair and time-bound investigation is conducted in accordance with the new criminal laws. In the interest of the justice, the association also suggests that it is absolutely necessary to temporarily remove accused officers from positions of power to alleviate apprehension of undue influence over junior- ranking investigating officers," the association demanded in a representation to the Chief Minister.
