SIT probing case, post-mortem done under magistrate supervision

A Special Investigation Team is looking into Kumar's death, with the post-mortem done under magistrate supervision and full transparency.
Kumar reportedly left a note naming eight senior IPS officers, accusing them of caste-based discrimination and harassment—serious claims that have drawn a lot of public attention and prompted his family to seek assurances about the investigation's fairness.
