ASI Sandeep Lathar was found dead in suspicious circumstances in Rohtak on 14 October.
A first information report was registered on Wednesday in connection with the alleged suicide. The case was registered a few hours after Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Saini met with the family at Ladhot village during the day and assured them justice and all possible assistance.

Sandeep's cousin, Sanjay Lathar, said that the family has demanded a judicial enquiry."We have demanded a judicial enquiry. We will conduct a postmortem only after an FIR has been filed. My brother's last video must be investigated, and an FIR must be filed based on it. CM has assured of an appropriate investigation," he said.
Lather, posted at the Rohtak Police Cyber Cell, had ended his life after making allegations of corruption against IPS officer Y. Puran Kumar and his family in a four-page note and video. He is survived by his wife and three children, including two daughters.
