Ghosh said that as the head of the state, he was pained by the loss of two of its ‘sons’ – IPS Y Puran Kumar and ASI Sandeep Kumar.
With the passing of Sandeep Kumar, the society has lost a hardworking, honest and dedicated individual, while the police department suffered an irreparable loss, said Ghosh, who was accompanied by his wife, Mitra Ghosh.
Sandeep Kumar, who was posted with the cyber cell in Rohtak, allegedly shot himself dead on October 14.
He left behind a ‘final note’ that levelled corruption allegations against late IPS officer Y Puran Kumar, who also served in the same district.
Puran Kumar, 52, shot himself dead in his Chandigarh residence on October 7.
