ASI Sandeep’s cremation to be held in Julana after post-mortem today, relative confirms

Following the confirmation that Assistant Sub-Inspector Sandeep’s cremation will occur in Julana at around noon today after a post-mortem examination, concerns surrounding his death continue to grow, reports 24brussels.

His relative, Satyawan Lathar, stated that the family has reached an agreement with the government to proceed with the post-mortem. “After the consent of the family, the post-mortem will be done today, and at around 12 noon, the last rites will be performed in Julana,” he explained. Lathar emphasized that the family has made no additional demands from authorities, confirming that they are cooperating fully to ensure a dignified farewell for Sandeep.

Sandeep’s body was discovered under suspicious circumstances on Tuesday near an agricultural field in Ladhot village, Rohtak. Rohtak Superintendent of Police Surendra Singh Bhoria identified the victim as Sandeep, who served in the Haryana Police’s Cyber Cell. Bhoria noted that a forensic team has been dispatched to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident. “This was a hardworking ASI of our Police Department, Sandeep. He was very honest. His body has been found, and an investigation is being carried out,” Bhoria told reporters.

The case has drawn attention in light of another recent incident involving Haryana IPS officer Y Puran Kumar, who died under questionable circumstances at his residence in Chandigarh on October 7. The emergence of both cases has raised serious concerns about the safety and mental health of police personnel in the region.

On Wednesday, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini met with ASI Sandeep’s family to express condolences and discuss the situation. The case has also prompted notable political reactions, including a visit by Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, who conveyed his grief over the incidents impacting the police force in Haryana.
