The Bihar Home Department has reassigned five IPS officers and six other police officials, appointing 1998‑batch IPS officer Ratna Sanjay as Additional Director General of Police for Law and Order.
The Home Department of Bihar issued an order transferring five Indian Police Service officers along with six senior police officials to new postings across the state. Among the changes, 1998‑batch IPS officer Ratna Sanjay has been elevated to the post of Additional Director General of Police (Law & Order).\n\nRatna Sanjay, who has served in various capacities within the state police hierarchy, is expected to oversee law‑and‑order operations and coordinate with district police heads to ensure public safety. His appointment comes at a time when the department is focusing on strengthening internal security and improving response mechanisms.\n\nThe reshuffle reflects the routine administrative practice of rotating senior officers to bring fresh perspectives to different regions. While the transfers affect multiple districts, the designation of a new ADG for law and order signals the government's intent to prioritize effective policing and maintain stability in Bihar.
