Kolkata/New Delhi: The Government of West Bengal has granted No Objection Certificates (NOCs) to three IPS officers for central deputation. The officers are Amit P Javalgi (IPS: 2006: WB), B V Chandra Sekhar (IPS: 2009: WB) and Amandeep (IPS: 2014: WB).

The three officers bring experience in policing, investigation, intelligence, district administration and urban law and order to the central pool.

A direct-recruit IPS officer selected through the UPSC Civil Services Examination, Chandra Sekhar joined the service on December 21, 2009. He belongs to Andhra Pradesh and has more than 17 years of service experience.
He is currently posted as Joint Commissioner of Police (Headquarters), Bidhannagar Police Commissionerate, at Pay Level 13. He has been holding the assignment since February 19, 2024.
Experience in Kolkata and Bidhannagar Policing
Chandra Sekhar has handled several important law-and-order and investigation-related responsibilities during his career in the West Bengal Police.
He has served in the Kolkata Police, including as Deputy Commissioner of Police in the Detective Department and Special Branch. His assignments have given him experience in urban policing, intelligence and investigation.
At the Bidhannagar Police Commissionerate, he has been serving as Joint Commissioner of Police (Headquarters), where his responsibilities have included urban policing administration, public-facing policing initiatives and election-related security arrangements.
His NOC now clears the way for him to take up a central deputation assignment.
Amandeep: 2014-Batch IPS Officer
Amandeep, a 2014-batch IPS officer of the West Bengal cadre, is the third officer to receive NOC for central deputation.
He has built his career through a combination of district policing, intelligence assignments and special responsibilities within the West Bengal Police.

Three Officers Move Towards Central Deputation
The NOCs granted to the three officers mark the latest movement of senior West Bengal-cadre IPS officers towards central deputation.
With Amit P Javalgi moving to the NIA as IG, and B V Chandra Sekhar and Amandeep cleared for central deputation, the Government of India is set to benefit from their combined experience in investigation, intelligence, district policing, urban law and order and election-related assignments.
The deputation of officers from state cadres to central organisations provides the Centre with experienced police leadership while also giving officers exposure to national-level policing and security responsibilities.
