IPS officer suicide, 'white-collar' terror bust shake Haryana in 2025

The alleged suicide by a senior IPS officer and busting of a "white-collar" terror module linked to the Delhi car blast were among the key highlights in the year 2025 which also brought more electoral success for the ruling BJP in Haryana. The BJP, after its third consecutive win in the October 2024 assembly polls, maintained its winning momentum sweeping the civic polls in March 2025 while the Congress, which was looking to turn around its electoral fortunes, drew a blank. In November, the busting of a terror module hogged the headlines for weeks and prompted authorities to put Haryana on maximum alert. Just a month before busting of the terror module, another development which also made it to national headlines was the alleged suicide of a senior IPS officer, which triggered a chain of events and also resulted in the then DGP Shatrujeet Kapur being relieved from the post.
