Amneet told the CM: “There will be no post-mortem or cremation until action is taken.”
Earlier, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, who returned from a trip to Japan, arrived directly from the airport at 12:28 pm on Thursday at Amneet P. Kumar’s official residence in Sector 24. Amneet clearly stated to the Chief Minister that this was not a suicide, but that the system had murdered Puran Kumar. Puran Kumar’s body will not be subjected to a post-mortem or cremation until action is taken against the accused.
The Chief Minister stayed there for approximately 44 minutes. According to sources, the Chief Minister spoke with Amneet P. Kumar for approximately 20 minutes. During this time, Amneet said that the suicide note mentioned harassment of her husband. Subsequently, his image was tarnished by filing a case in Rohtak as part of a conspiracy.
These officers should be suspended with immediate effect and arrested. Amneet stated that her family is also in danger. The government should ensure the lifelong safety of her daughters, especially her daughters. Chief Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister, Rajesh Khullar, CID Chief Saurabh Singh, and two other senior IAS officers were also present.
