Patna: In a significant administrative move ahead of the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections, the Nitish Kumar-led state government has ordered a large-scale reshuffle in the police department. Late Friday night, orders were issued transferring 3 Indian Police Service (IPS) officers and 148 Deputy Superintendents of Police (DSPs) across various districts and departments in Bihar.

This follows a similar reshuffle in the administrative services earlier, where 7 IAS officers were transferred – signaling that the state is actively ramping up its law and order apparatus before the polls.

Key IPS Transfers Announced

According to the notification issued by the Police Headquarters in Patna, the following IPS officers have been reassigned to critical posts:

  • 2010 batch IPS officer Himanshu Shankar Trivedi – Appointed as Superintendent of Police, Civil Security
  • Ashok Kumar Singh, an IPS officer of 2012 batch – Appointed as Superintendent of Police, Human Rights Commission
  • 2018 batch IPS officer Ravish Kumar – Appointed as Superintendent of Police (Personnel-2) at Bihar Police Headquarters

The officers have been instructed to assume their new roles immediately.

Widespread Transfer of DSPs Across Bihar

In addition to the IPS reshuffle, the government has also issued orders transferring 148 DSPs, with 96 of them receiving entirely new postings. These transfers affect both urban and rural jurisdictions across the state, and the changes are expected to have a substantial impact on field-level policing and election security measures.

Strategic Move Ahead of State Elections

With elections drawing closer, this reshuffle is seen as a proactive measure to tighten law and order, ensure neutrality in policing, and prevent misuse of administrative machinery. Sources indicate that the transfers were also guided by recommendations from the Election Commission of India, which routinely monitors official movements to prevent local bias during polls.

The reshuffle comes amid heightened political activity and increased scrutiny from opposition parties and civil society watchdogs.

Government’s Message: No Laxity During Polls

The sheer scale of the transfer order – impacting over 150 senior and mid-level officers – clearly signals that the government is aiming to ensure a transparent, efficient, and secure election process. Officials have confirmed that more changes may follow, depending on field reports and ongoing assessments by the Election Commission.
