MOTIHARI: An IPS officer is making waves in Bihar police for his audacious decisions and making significant strides in tackling various challenges plaguing the district.

This 2017- batch police officer Swarn Prabhat is hitting the headlines with a number of people-friendly and anti- criminal’s initiatives he had taken soon after joining as superintendent of police (SP) of Bihar’s East Champaran district.

East Champaran is clinching with the porous border of Nepal and has been facing a number of security related challenges. Apart from crimes on border like smuggling and anti-India activities, SP has strongly tackled the open sale of liquor, corruption among cops on police station level, incidents of “Harsh Firing”, attacks on police on duty and major criminal’s incidents on every alternate days.

Thousands of liters of liquor are seized daily, significantly reducing open sales.  Drone surveillance and ground-to-sky monitoring led to the arrest of gang members and a decline in criminal activities.

SP has also tackled unscrupulous cops with stern hands. In corruption crackdown: Malahi SHO, Dumariaghat SHO, and others were suspended for dereliction of duty.

Police Accountability: Transparency in posting criteria, with officer’s track records was made public by SP.

Harsh Firing Prevention: Security provided for marriage ceremonies, with officials encouraged to take selfies with attendees. The initiatives stopped ‘harsh firing’ completely and liquor use in the marriage ceremonies as well.

Officers authorized to use arms in self-defense, as seen in Raghunathpur and Dumariaghat incidents. This came after a police man was attacked by villagers in a village of Pahadpur.

Police are so morally high that they shot a criminal named Samir Singh, when he challenged police at the time of his arrest. He was a vicious sharp shooter and absconding in a case of murder of a bank employee.

SP while releasing a video said that Police stations are equipped with chilly grenades to disperse the mob at the time of implementing rule of laws. All the SHOs have been asked to provide FIR copy immediately to the complainant and share a selfie image from spot. he said.
