Whosoever found guilty will not be spared, says Saini
Panchkula, Oct. 12 -- In his first comments in the sensational case that involves allegations of caste-based discrimination against the deceased officer, Haryana chief minister Nayab Singh Saini said whoever is found guilty in the probe will face action irrespective of their position and asked the Opposition not to politicise it.
Saini on Saturday assured the family of IPS officer Y Puran Kumar of a thorough inquiry into his alleged suicide on October 7 and strict action against the accused.
On a day when leaders from the opposition Congress and Aam Aadmi Party, including Randeep Surjewala, Deepender Hooda, Charanjit Singh Channi, Kumari Selja and Manish Sisodia, made a beeline to meet the IPS officer's bureaucrat wife Amneet P Kumar at her official residence in Sector 24, Chandigarh, the BJP leader said in Panchkula: "This is an unfortunate incident. The family has demanded justice. We have assured them that there will be a thorough inquiry. Action will be taken against the accused. There should not be politics on such sensitive issues."
He was speaking at the BJP state executive meeting in Panchkula, where members paid tribute to the late officer by observing a two-minute silence.
CM Saini reiterated his commitment to the bereaved family by saying: "No matter how influential the culprit, they won't be spared. Our government will work to deliver justice."
Saini shared that he was in constant touch with the central government for a solution to the matter.
He recalled that upon receiving news of the death while in Japan, where he was leading an official delegation in which Amneet was also a member, he immediately consoled the officer's wife and sent officials to assist the family.
The CM's assertion comes at a time when the case has drawn significant political attention.
Saini announced that the "Pradhan Mantri Dhan-Dhanya Krishi Yojana" and "Dalhan Atmanirbharta Mission" will be key to making agriculture self-reliant and transforming farmers' lives. The CM addressed a state-level function in Panchkula on Saturday, where he and other dignitaries watched the live address of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who launched these schemes and inaugurated/laid the foundation for over 1,100 agricultural projects worth Rs.42,000 crore.
