Hyderabad, Oct. 13 -- AIMIM President Asaduddin Owaisi today expressed shock over the suicide of Haryana IPS officer Y Puran Kumar, attributing it to harassment and caste-based discrimination.
In a social media post, Owaisi said Kumar had named several seniors in his "final note". He extended his condolences to the officer's family, particularly his spouse.
"It is unfortunate proof that Dalits are not allowed to progress, even if they reach the highest ranks of service," he wrote.
Owaisi urged that all necessary steps be taken to bring the accused to justice without delay.
