A first information report was registered on Wednesday (October 15, 2025) in connection with the alleged suicide of Assistant Sub-Inspector Sandeep Lather on Tuesday, accusing the late IPS officer Y. Puran Kumar and his family of corruption, officials said. The case was registered a few hours after Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Saini met with the family at Ladhot village during the day and assured them justice and all possible assistance.
After registration of the case, the family gave its consent for post-mortem and agreed to perform the last rites of the deceased policeman on Thursday afternoon at his native town Julana. The body was shifted to the PGIMS, Rohtak, late in the evening for the post-mortem, which is likely to be conducted by a board of doctors on Thursday morning.
Lather, posted at the Rohtak Police Cyber Cell, had ended his life after making allegations of corruption against Puran and his family in a four-page note and video. He is survived by his wife and three children, including two daughters.
IPS officer Puran, who held the post of Inspector-General, Police Training Centre in Rohtak’s Sunaria, had killed himself in his Chandigarh residence on October 7.
Rohtak Police spokesperson confirmed the registration of the FIR, but refused to comment on its contents. However, a source privy to the parleys with the deceased policeman’s family, claimed that four persons, including the late IPS officer’s wife and senior IAS officer Amneet. P. Kumar, his brother-in-law and Aam Aadmi Party MLA Amit Amit Rattan and Puran’s personal security officer (PSO) Sushil Kumar, already in jail in an extortion case, were named in the case. Lather’s wife is the complainant.
