Shivdeep Lande, a respected officer with over 18 years of service, announced his resignation from the Indian Police Service (IPS) on Thursday. He shared this decision on social media, expressing deep gratitude for Bihar, where he spent his entire career.

Lande highlighted that his service always prioritized Bihar’s welfare over personal or family interests, demonstrating his dedication to the state. He also apologized for any mistakes made during his tenure, showing humility.

Despite stepping down from the IPS, Lande assured his supporters that he will remain in Bihar, which he calls his karma bhoomi. This indicates his intention to continue contributing to the state in other ways.

Known for his crime-fighting efforts and respected for his integrity, Lande’s resignation, particularly following his recent transfer to the Purnea Range, has sparked speculation about his future. His decision to stay in Bihar, despite being from Maharashtra, has led many to wonder if he might pursue a political career. His strong connection with the people and popularity suggest he could be preparing for a role in public service beyond his police career.
