Kumar's wife, Amneet P Kumar, has called for action against high-ranking officials accused of abetting her husband's alleged suicide, citing caste-based discrimination and mental harassment.

Efforts by the Haryana government to secure consent for a post-mortem have been met with resistance from Kumar's family, who are demanding justice first.
