In a bold administrative maneuver, the Bihar government executed a sweeping transfer of senior police personnel on Wednesday. Four IPS officers and two DSPs from the Bihar Police Service have been handed new responsibilities, signaling a proactive approach to policing challenges.
Official orders from the Home Department’s police branch outline the specifics. Ajay Kumar Pandey (2012 batch), formerly DIG of the Vigilance Investigation Bureau in Patna, now leads as DIG for Prohibition and ANTF, Patna—a posting crucial for curbing bootlegging and narcotics.
Prerna Kumar (2018 batch) transitions from SP Naugachia to SP Lakhisarai. Rajesh Kumar steps in at Naugachia from his role at the Prohibition and Narcotics Bureau. Avdhesh Dixit shifts from Lakhisarai SP to SP Personnel-1 at police HQ.
On the DSP front, Ram Krishna relocates from Cyber Crime DSP in Katihar to ASP-1, Badi, Patna. Anand Kumar Singh vacates Badi ASP-1 for DSP High Court Security, Patna.
The directive is clear: report to new posts without delay. Experts see this as a timely refresh to inject vigor into the force. As Bihar grapples with maintaining public safety, these changes are poised to fortify the state’s security framework, reflecting the government’s ongoing focus on robust governance.
