Saini on cop ‘suicides’: Probe on, everything will be crystal clear soon

Asked whether any commission of inquiry will be constituted or internal probe will be held in the two cases, Saini said the incidents that have happened are unfortunate.

“One incident is being probed by Chandigarh Police and the other by Haryana Police. Maine pehle bhi kaha tha, kissi bhi parivar ke saath anyaay nahi karegi ye sarkar (I had said earlier too that no injustice will be done with any of the families by this government),” he said.

Saini asserted that his government is working in a transparent manner. “Dudh ka dudh, pani ka pani hoga (everything will be crystal clear),” he said referring to the two incidents.

Saini was speaking to reporters after addressing a gathering at “Jan Vishwas-Jan Vikas” event in Panchkula on the occasion of completion of one year of the third term of BJP government in state.

In an eight-page “final note” purportedly left behind by Puran Kumar, who was last posted as IG in Police Training Centre in Rohtak’s Sunaria, he accused eight senior IPS officers of blatant caste-based discrimination, targeted mental harassment, public humiliation and atrocities.

Notably, Haryana police ASI Kumar’s alleged suicide Tuesday came amid the row over Puran Kumar’s death, which led to a shakeup of the police brass and also become a huge political issue.

A grand event to mark completion of one year of the third term of the BJP government in Haryana, which was to to be held in Sonipat on October 17, was cancelled on October 13, the move which had come amid the developments pertaining to the IPS officer’s “suicide” incident, though officially no reason had been given.

On Friday, Saini said Prime Minister Modi was to visit Haryana on October 17 “but that programme has been put on hold due to some reasons”. “Soon, the prime minister will come to the state to give his blessings and he will inaugurate and lay the foundation stone of big projects,” Saini said.

On October 17, 2024, Saini was sworn in as chief minister of Haryana for the second time. In March 2024, Saini, an OBC face of the party, replaced Manohar Lal Khattar, who is at present a Union minister.
