???? A Deeply Disturbing Reality – How Long Will Our Brave Police Officers Continue to Take Their Own Lives?

A shocking and heartbreaking incident once again exposes the silent suffering of our police personnel.

In Rohtak, ASI Sandeep Kumar Lather, a dedicated and disciplined officer, ended his life in despair—just days after Haryana IGP Y. Puran Kumar also died by suicide. Both left behind “final notes” and strong allegations of corruption within the system.

According to The Indian Express, hours before his death, ASI Sandeep appeared distressed, took a call, and said he was going back to the office. Within an hour, he was gone. His 6-minute 28-second video and written note have shaken the conscience of the nation.

These repeated tragedies reveal a systemic breakdown where officers face unbearable pressure, corruption, humiliation, and mental exhaustion — yet no one listens until it is too late.

???? Statement by Dr. Anthony Raju, Advocate Supreme Court of India & Chairman, Indian National Human Rights Protection Council (AICHLS)

“This is not merely a suicide — this is a national alarm. When our protectors begin to die by their own hands, it reflects a moral and institutional failure of the system meant to safeguard them.”

“The mental health and human rights of police officers are being ignored. They are crushed under the weight of political pressure, toxic hierarchy, and a culture of silence. Every officer deserves dignity, fair treatment, and psychological support.”

 “I strongly demand a high-level judicial inquiry into the allegations made in the suicide notes of both officers. Every responsible person, regardless of rank, must be held accountable.”

“AICHLS is ready to conduct nationwide meditation and mental wellness programs, along with legal awareness and corruption prevention workshops, for police officers across India. Protecting the protectors is no longer a choice — it is a national duty.”

⚖️ Call to Action

It is time to treat police human rights with the same seriousness as any other citizen’s rights. They deserve timely duty schedules, mental health care, freedom from corruption and coercion, and a safe environment to serve the nation.

Let this be a turning point — not another statistic.
