Chandigarh, Nov. 8 -- The special investigation team (SIT) in Chandigarh, probing the death of IPS officer Y Puran Kumar, is facing procedural hurdles in accessing crucial documents from Haryana. The inability to formally secure certified records from the Rohtak police, which registered an FIR a day before the officer's death, is reportedly slowing the progress of the sensitive inquiry. While the SIT has been granted temporary inspection access, the formal sharing of case records is pending approval from higher authorities in Rohtak. Rohtak IG has told the SIT that the important case records sought in connection with the FIR linked to IPS officer Y Puran Kumar's death cannot be shared without approval from higher authorities, though the SIT has been permitted to inspect them for now. The SIT had issued a notice under Section 94 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) to Rohtak IG, seeking certified records related to FIR No 0319/2025, daily diary report (DDR) entries, arrest proceedings of the IPS officer's personal security officer Sushil Kumar, and correspondence exchanged prior to the registration of the case. According to officials, Rohtak IG has informed the SIT that the documents form part of an ongoing investigation in Rohtak and require approval from higher authorities before they can be officially shared. However, the SIT has been permitted to inspect the relevant case record in the interim. A senior Chandigarh Police official confirmed the reply, stating, "We have received records but some key details are remaining. We have been informed that approval is awaited for supplying the certified case records we requested. However, we have been permitted to inspect the concerned documents." The SIT considers these documents critical as the Rohtak FIR was filed a day before the IPS officer was found dead in Chandigarh on October 7. The officer's family has alleged that the FIR was fabricated and acted as the immediate trigger that led him to take the extreme step. The SIT has been examining whether the FIR was registered following due procedure, and whether there was any undue influence or external pressure behind the case....
