“In this context, the suicide of such a senior police officer is a very tragic incident. It has shaken the entire state. If a senior police officer is not safe today, one can imagine the plight of ordinary citizens,” he added.

On October 8, Ambala Congress MP Varun Chaudhary alleged that senior officers in the BJP government are harassing Scheduled Caste (SC) officers, pushing them into severe mental distress.

“An FIR should be registered against those officials whose names have been mentioned in the suicide note. Also, all documents recovered from Kumar’s house should be preserved,” he had added.

She added, "At the same time, I demand an impartial and high-level investigation into the incident so that the truth comes out and no other officer has to face such a situation in the future."
