A senior police officer from Bihar, IPS Shivdeep Wamanrao Lande, has recently resigned from service, making him the second IPS officer from the state to opt for voluntary retirement in two months. Officer Lande revealed that he decided to resign after discussing the move with his wife and mother.

Mr. Lande, a 2006-batch Bihar cadre IPS officer, took to Facebook to announce that he had resigned from his service but underlined that he would continue to stay in Bihar and work in the state. The officer did not clarify his plans after the formalities of his exit were completed.

Officer Lande’s message to his followers read, “I have served in Bihar for 18 years and to me, Bihar is like my family and more. If I have made a mistake during my stint, I would seek forgiveness from the people of Bihar. Today I have resigned from IPS but I will be in Bihar and continue to serve Bihar.

Mr. Lande, who is a native of Maharashtra, was allotted the Bihar cadre nearly two decades ago and he is currently posted as the Inspector General of Police (Purnea range).

Earlier in August, a 2019-batch IPS officer, Ms. Kamya Mishra decided to hang her gloves from the state’s police service while being posted as the Superintendent of Police (SP) in rural Darbhanga. Like Mishra, Officer Lande too has cited personal reasons in his resignation letter.

It is pertinent to mention that according to a senior police officer, Mr. Lande, who had an uncompromising attitude, had been unhappy with the functioning of the police administration in Bihar, particularly after he returned after serving for five years in Mumbai.

The 2006-batch Top Cop was the district police chief of several districts such as Munger and Araria apart from a stint as Patna’s City SP before going on a five-year deputation to Maharashtra where he served as deputy commissioner of police (DCP) of Mumbai’s anti-narcotics cell. He returned to Bihar in 2022 and joined as deputy inspector general (DIG) of Kosi range. Later he was promoted to IG in Tirhut range and on September 6th, he was transferred to Purnea as IG Purnea range.
