Mumbai: The Maharashtra Home Department has ordered a major reshuffle involving police officers across the state, issuing transfer and posting orders on November 2, 2026. The order covers officers from the Indian Police Service (IPS) and Maharashtra Police Service (MPS), following recommendations of Police Establishment Board No. 1.
The order includes new postings for several officers, changes in existing responsibilities and a one-year extension for three senior police officers who will continue in their present positions.
While the initial summary refers to 16 officers, the detailed transfer list contains 19 entries. The order also includes three tenure extensions.
Three Senior Police Officers Get One-Year Extension
The Maharashtra government has granted a one-year extension to three senior police officers, allowing them to continue in their existing positions.
Amarsinh Jadhav (SPS, 2009 batch), Deputy Commissioner of Police, Crime Branch, Thane City, and Prashant Kadam, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Circle 5, Thane City, have been granted a one-year extension in their respective posts.
Shivraj Patil (SPS, 2007 batch), Additional Superintendent of Police associated with the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) in the Konkan region, has also received a one-year extension. The detailed transfer table, however, lists his existing posting as Additional Superintendent of Police, Nanded. The discrepancy in the posting details requires confirmation from the official order.

2021 batch IPS officer Anmol Mittal, who was serving as Additional Superintendent of Police, Thane Rural, has been transferred to the post of Additional Superintendent of Police, Ambajogai, in Beed district.
Meena Makhwana (SPS, 2009 batch), who was serving as Deputy Commissioner of Police, Circle 1, Thane City, has been appointed Additional Superintendent of Police, Thane Rural.
The detailed table also lists Jayant Bajbale (SPS), formerly Superintendent of Police, Civil Rights Protection, Thane, as being on the waiting list/change of posting. A separate narrative in the supplied information says he has been appointed Deputy Commissioner of Police, Thane City. These two descriptions are inconsistent and should be checked against the government resolution before publication.
