Chandigarh: Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Friday visited the residence of ADGP Y Puran Kumar, who recently died by suicide. During his visit, he met Kumar\u2019s wife, IAS officer Amneet P Kumar, and expressed his condolences to the bereaved family.<\/p>\n
Amneet P Kumar, who serves as an IAS officer in Haryana, is the sister of Amit Rattan, Aam Aadmi Party MLA from Bathinda. CM Mann\u2019s visit comes amid allegations that Y Puran Kumar faced harassment from senior officials before his death.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the media, Mann said the family was in deep shock and highlighted that Y Puran Kumar came from a humble background. \u201cThe family educated their children with great effort, and both husband and wife cleared the UPSC. It is painful that such families and officers are now forced to seek justice,\u201d Mann said.<\/p>\n
He added that Y Puran Kumar had dedicated his life to upholding the law and questioned whether systemic discrimination played a role in his death. \u201cIs it a conspiracy that the poor are not being allowed to sit on high chairs? Even the Chief Justice of India is being insulted and mocked. This is shameful,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Mann further remarked that India thrives on diversity, comparing it to a bouquet with different flowers. \u201cIf a child from a poor family reaches the top after studying hard and is still humiliated to the point of taking his life, it is a slap on society,\u201d he said, calling the incident a reflection of systemic injustice.<\/p>\n
The Chief Minister also drew parallels with Dr. B R Ambedkar\u2019s struggles, saying that voices from marginalized sections have always faced resistance. \u201cWe also come from poor families, and seasonal politicians abuse me and Arvind Kejriwal. Whoever rises from the ground is targeted,\u201d Mann said.<\/p>\n
He demanded action against leaders making derogatory remarks about the Chief Justice of India, calling it \u201can attack on the judiciary and the Dalit community.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
