]]>Nuh SP Ashok Kumar Verma addressed the media on Monday and stated that a dispute broke out inside a barrack of Neemka Jail on Sunday night. During the altercation, another inmate, identified as Arun Chaudhary, allegedly attacked Rahman with a stone around 2 am. Rahman sustained serious head injuries. He was immediately taken to the jail hospital for primary treatment, where he succumbed to his injuries.
Rahman had been arrested last year by Gujarat and Palwal police from Pali village in March. Authorities said he was earlier apprehended from a farmhouse in Faridabad. He was allegedly hiding there under the name Shankar. At the time of his arrest, police had recovered two hand grenades, detonators and other materials from him.
Following news of Rahman’s death, his father left Ayodhya on Monday to collect his son’s body from Faridabad. The family is expected to return on Tuesday. Rahman was a resident of Mughalai Bazaar.
Police officials stated that Arun Chaudhary has several criminal cases registered against him in Jammu and Kashmir, including charges of murder and attempt to murder. He was transferred from Kathua Jail to Neemka Jail in 2024. Another accused named Yakub Riaz was also present in the same barrack at the time of the incident.
A murder case has been registered against Arun Chaudhary. Police said he will soon be taken on production warrant for further questioning as the investigation continues.

]]>The post Justice for Y Puran Kumar Is Justice for All Dalits: Rahul Gandhi Slams Haryana Govt appeared first on The Edge Media.
]]>After meeting the family of the late officer in Chandigarh, Gandhi addressed the media, alleging that Kumar had been subjected to systematic caste-based discrimination intended to break his spirit and sabotage his career.
“A dangerous message is being sent — that no matter how accomplished or senior you are, if you’re a Dalit, you can still be suppressed and crushed,” Gandhi said.
Kumar, 52, was found dead from a gunshot wound in his home last week. A final note, reportedly left by him, spans eight pages and accuses eight senior IPS officers — including Haryana DGP Shatrujeet Kapur and former Rohtak SP Narendra Bijarniya — of relentless caste-based harassment, mental torture, and public humiliation.
The opposition has since intensified criticism of the Haryana government, with Gandhi accusing CM Saini of failing to ensure a fair and impartial investigation despite earlier promises.
Gandhi also highlighted the emotional toll on Kumar’s family, especially his two daughters, emphasizing the need for justice and accountability.
“This is not just about one man or one family. This is about dignity, justice, and the rights of every Dalit in India,” he added.
The Congress party continues to demand a high-level independent inquiry and immediate suspension of the officers named in Kumar’s note.
