Indian Masterminds Stories

Patna: In the latest administrative reshuffle in Bihar, IPS officer Jitendra Rana, a 2005 batch officer from Bihar cadre, has been appointed as the Inspector General (IG) of the Patna Central Range. After spending seven years on central deputation, Rana has finally returned to Bihar, eagerly awaiting this significant posting.

Career Highlights and Central Deputation
Before his new appointment, Mr Rana served as CASO ASG New Delhi (DIG) in the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF). During his tenure on central deputation, he earned commendations for his dedicated service. His return to Bihar marks a pivotal moment in his career, bringing his vast experience back to the state police force.

Notable Achievements and Awards
IPS Jitendra Rana has an impressive track record in law enforcement. In 2024, he was honored with the prestigious Police Medal by the President of India for his commendable service. Over the years, he has received several accolades, including:

  • A Bravery Medal from the President in 2016.
  • A commendation disc from the CRPF Director General for controlling Naxalism as Superintendent of Police in Jamui, Bihar (2014).
  • Commendation discs from the CISF Director General in 2019 and 2021.

The Arrest of Bahubali MLA Anant Singh: A Milestone
One of the most notable chapters in Rana’s career is his crucial role in the arrest of Bahubali MLA Anant Singh in 2015. Singh was arrested in connection with the murder case of Putush Yadav. While the arrest was physically carried out by then SSP Vikas Vaibhav, the strategic planning and execution of the operation were masterminded by IPS Rana. At that time, Anant Singh was a JDU MLA and a powerful figure in Bihar politics.

Challenges and Transfers: The Path to Patna IG
Following the high-profile arrest of Anant Singh, IPS Rana was transferred to the post of Superintendent of Police (SP) in East Champaran. Subsequently, in 2018, he went on central deputation, serving the CISF and other central agencies for seven years before his return to Bihar as IG of Patna Central Range.

Educational Background and Leadership Style
Mr Rana hails from Kard village in Panipat district, Haryana. He completed his graduation from the prestigious St. Stephen’s College, Delhi University, and pursued higher education at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU). Known for his modern approach, Rana effectively blends traditional policing with digital and social media tools to enhance transparency and public communication.

Personal Life: Family and Values
Mr Rana’s father, Jagbir Singh Rana, is a respected lawyer and social worker in Panipat, actively involved in various educational and social initiatives. His mother, Birmati, is a homemaker. Coming from a family committed to public service, Jitendra Rana’s dedication to law enforcement is deeply rooted in his upbringing.

A Moment of Intense Policing: The AK-47 Incident
A decade ago, during a student protest in Patna, Mr Rana took a decisive step to control escalating unrest by firing warning shots in the air with an AK-47. This incident, captured in a widely circulated photograph, exemplifies his readiness to maintain law and order decisively when required.

Return to Bihar and Future Prospects
After completing seven years on central deputation, Jitendra Rana returns to Bihar as the IG of Patna Central Range, expected to bring his experience and leadership to bear on the state’s law and order challenges.

A Symbol of Inspirational Leadership in Bihar Police
Jitendra Rana’s story is that of an officer who goes beyond routine policing. From managing complex law and order situations to making high-profile arrests and pioneering administrative reforms, he has consistently demonstrated effective leadership and integrity. His return as IG of Patna Central Range is expected to bring renewed vigor and professionalism to one of Bihar’s most critical policing zones.

With his blend of experience, courage, and progressive outlook, IPS Rana continues to set a benchmark in Bihar police, inspiring the force and the public alike.
