The Bihar government has appointed IPS officer Shivdeep Wamarrao Lande as the new Inspector General (IG) of the Police Training Centre in Patna, following his recent resignation from service. This move comes after Lande, a 2006 batch officer previously assigned to the Purnea division, announced his resignation on social media on September 19, sparking speculation about his possible entry into politics.

Despite Lande’s resignation citing personal reasons—primarily his desire to spend more time with his family—the Bihar police headquarters did not accept his resignation. On Wednesday, the State’s Home Department officially confirmed his transfer to the new position.

Lande, known for his public service and popularity in Bihar, has gained a reputation as an “encounter specialist,” often referred to as “Singham.” His swift actions in tackling high-profile cases have earned him significant admiration and a large fan following in the state.

In conjunction with Lande’s transfer, the Home Department has appointed Rakesh Rathi, a 2003 batch IPS officer, as the new IG of the Purnea range, replacing Lande in that capacity.

This transfer marks a notable shift in Lande’s career, highlighting the Bihar government’s reluctance to lose experienced officers. The situation echoes the recent case of IPS officer Kamya Mishra, who also tendered her resignation a few months ago while serving as Superintendent of Police (SP) Rural in Darbhanga. Like Lande, her resignation was not accepted, indicating a trend within the department of retaining capable officers despite their personal intentions to leave.

As Lande assumes his new role in Patna, the implications of these developments continue to resonate within Bihar’s political and administrative circles, reflecting both the challenges and dynamics faced by law enforcement officials in the state.
