The matter surrounding the death of senior IPS officer Y. Puran Kumar has become more serious. Even on the seventh day of the incident, the administration and police were unable to conduct a post-mortem because the deceased’s wife, Amneet P. Kumar, and family members refused to agree to it. The police are now preparing to conduct a post-mortem as per the legal process. According to sources, a post-mortem is crucial in any suspicious death.
If the family refuses to consent, the investigation team can conduct a post-mortem under Sections 174 and 175 of the CrPC or obtain an order from a magistrate. Analysis of evidence collected at the scene is also crucial for the investigation team. The family has clearly stated that they will not agree to a post-mortem until Haryana DGP Shatrughan Singh Kapoor and the then-SP of Rohtak are arrested.
Postmortem will be conducted at PGI, several officials will be present.
The postmortem will be conducted by a team of doctors at PGI Chandigarh in the presence of a ballistics expert, a magistrate, and family representatives. The family has also made this demand. Ballistics testing will be crucial in determining whether the bullets and cartridges recovered from the scene were fired from the same weapon as the IPS officer. However, more than six days have passed since the incident, and the body has begun to decompose. Experts say that collecting gunpowder particles or other forensic samples may now be difficult. These samples play a crucial role in determining the range of the bullet and the cause of death.
SIT investigating call details
Chandigarh Police have gathered several important clues from the call detail record (CDR) of IPS Y. Puran Kumar. It is reported that before his death, he made several calls to his senior officers, lawyer, and some acquaintances. The SIT will now question all these individuals to determine if any pressure, stress, or conflict led to his suicide. Laptop required for forensic examination
Puran Kumar’s laptop is considered crucial for forensic examination. The emails and fingerprints on the laptop will be used to determine whether the suicide note was actually written by him. At present, the family has not handed over the laptop to the police.
