In a developing story that grips Haryana's political and social landscape, the state government has moved Rohtak Superintendent of Police Narendra Bijarniya from his position. This comes amid allegations of caste-based discrimination connected to the alleged suicide of IPS officer Y Puran Kumar, which has sparked state-wide outrage.

Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini assured the public that those found guilty in the ongoing investigation will face repercussions, regardless of their status. However, the deceased officer's family, alongside a swell of political leaders, asserts that justice for Kumar remains elusive.
