Major Shake‑up in Bihar Police as Senior IPS Leaders Get New Portfolios

Bihar's police leadership underwent a significant overhaul on July 1, when the Home Department issued a circular moving twelve IPS officers to new assignments. Veteran officer Nirmal Kumar Azad now holds dual charge as Police Director‑General (Training) and head of the Police Directorate for Prohibition and State Product Control. Similarly, Amit Raj transitioned from the Cyber Crime and Security Unit to become the Additional Director General of the Anti‑Terrorism Squad (ATS). The restructuring reflects the state’s focus on specialized crime‑fighting capabilities.
