Shivdeep Lande, widely known as the ‘Singham’ of Bihar Police, has resigned from the Indian Police Service (IPS), raising eyebrows and speculation among residents of Bihar, Maharashtra, and beyond. Lande, who has served for 18 years, announced his decision via social media, marking the end of a notable career characterized by his dedication and effectiveness in law enforcement. As a 2006 batch IPS officer, he gained prominence while serving as Superintendent of Police in several districts, including Araria, Purnia, and Jamalpur, before his recent role with the Special Task Force (STF) of Bihar. His resignation is particularly intriguing given his connections, as he is the son-in-law of former Maharashtra minister Vijay Shivtare. In his farewell message, Lande emphasized his commitment to Bihar, stating he prioritized the state's interests over his own and sought forgiveness for any shortcomings during his tenure.

The sudden nature of his departure has left many questioning the motivations behind it, which could have significant implications for law enforcement in the region. Lande's reputation as a supercop and his influence may continue to impact discussions around police reform and public safety in Bihar. Overall, his resignation marks a significant moment in local governance and law enforcement narratives.
