Haryana Police ASI Sandeep Kumar reportedly died by suicide in Rohtak. A viral video before his death accuses senior officials of corruption and caste-based harassment, while praising DGP Shatrujeet Singh and ex-SP Narendra Bijarniya.
Rohtak, Haryana — A Shocking Turn in the Haryana Police Crisis
In another shocking development within the Haryana Police force, ASI Sandeep Kumar was found dead at his residence on Ladhaut-Dhamar Road in Rohtak on Tuesday. Officials said the officer allegedly shot himself with a service revolver, adding yet another dark chapter to the ongoing turbulence within the state police department.
According to sources, a suicide note was recovered from the scene, though authorities have not officially confirmed its contents. The forensic team has been called in to examine the evidence, and an in-depth investigation is underway.
Viral Video Raises Serious Allegations
Soon after the incident, a video allegedly recorded by ASI Sandeep went viral on social media, stirring intense discussion. In the clip, Sandeep can be heard praising Haryana DGP Shatrujeet Singh Kapur and former Rohtak SP Narendra Bijarniya, describing both as honest and upright officers.
However, the ASI also accused certain officials posted at the IGP office in Rohtak of corruption, harassment, and caste-based discrimination. He alleged that these individuals had made life difficult for honest officers like him, claiming the system was “rotted with bias and pressure.”
In a poignant moment in the video, Sandeep mentioned late IPS officer Y. Puran Kumar, who allegedly died by suicide in Chandigarh last week. Puran Kumar had also accused the same senior officials of caste bias and professional harassment.
Sandeep’s words appeared to echo similar frustrations: “My sacrifice is to awaken the people and the nation. I have no fear; I draw inspiration from Bhagat Singh.”
A Pattern of Disturbing Events in Haryana Police
The ASI’s death comes just days after the suicide of IPS officer Y. Puran Kumar, which triggered a political and administrative storm in Haryana. In his note, the late IPS officer had accused DGP Shatrujeet Singh Kapur and ex-SP Narendra Bijarniya of mental harassment and caste-based bias.
Following public outrage, the Haryana government sent DGP Kapur on leave, pending an official inquiry.
Sandeep’s video, surfacing in the wake of this controversy, has now deepened suspicions about the internal functioning and work culture within the state police force.
Police Officials React to the Tragedy
Rohtak Superintendent of Police Surender Singh Bhoria called the incident “deeply unfortunate,” describing Sandeep as a hardworking and honest police officer.
“We arrived at the spot after receiving the information. The forensic team has been called in, and further details will emerge as the investigation progresses,” SP Bhoria said.
He refrained from commenting on the video, saying it would be premature to draw conclusions until the forensic and digital evidence was fully verified.
Public and Political Reactions
The video has sparked emotional responses on social media, with many demanding a high-level, independent probe into the claims of corruption and caste-based discrimination in the Haryana Police.
Civil rights activists have also called for mental health reforms and accountability mechanisms within the police department, arguing that officers face immense internal pressures and lack proper grievance redressal systems.
