Chandigarh Court Issues Notice to Amneet Kumar

Earlier on Tuesday, the Chandigarh District Court issued a notice to Puran Kumar's IAS wife, Amanit P. Kumar, based on an application filed by the Chandigarh Police seeking permission to conduct a postmortem on the body of ADGP Y. Puran Kumar.

Despite repeated requests from the investigating officer, SSP, and IGP, the family of Y. Puran Kumar refused to cooperate with the postmortem, forcing the police to approach the local court. The police have requested the court to direct the family to come forward for identification and post-mortem examination of the body.

The committee is satisfied with DGP's leave, foot march today.

The 31-member family committee formed to investigate the suicide case of late senior IPS officer Y. Puran Kumar is satisfied with the leave of Shatrughan Kapoor and the appointment of a new DGP. Committee chairman, retired associate professor Jaynarayan, said that the committee will hold a peaceful foot march from Sector 17, Chandigarh, to the residence of Punjab Governor and Chandigarh Administrator Gulabchand Kataria at 3:30 pm on Wednesday.
