In his video, Sandeep alleged that former IG Puran Kumar was “a very corrupt officer” and claimed that the senior officer’s own suicide on October 7 “wasn’t a caste case” but an act “to avoid family humiliation.”

Sandeep also made a series of grave allegations against the late IPS officer. In his video, he said, “Puran Kumar was corrupt. He died because he feared being caught. He had hijacked the system. Women officers were threatened with transfers and even assaulted.”

“My grandfather fought for the country, now his grandson will do the same,” he said, calling himself a follower of Bhagat Singh’s ideals. “I lived honestly and belonged to a farming family. I am not afraid of anything.”

Sandeep’s body was found in a tubewell room at his maternal uncle’s farm in Ladhot village near Rohtak. His service weapon, suicide note, and video were recovered from the spot, which is now being examined by forensic experts.
