Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said the death of Haryana police officer Y Puran Kumar is about the respect of all Dalits, urging Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi and Chief Minister (CM) Nayab Singh Saini to take immediate action and arrest the officials responsible for it, news agency PTI reported.

Addressing reporters after meeting the family of the senior officer, who was found with a wound at his Chandigarh residence last week, Gandhi said Kumar had faced systematic discrimination aimed at demoralising him and damaging his career.
