The Assam government has not yet accepted the resignation of Anand Mishra (IPS:2011:AM), an Indian Police Service (IPS) officer who served as the Superintendent of Police (SP) in Lakhimpur. Mishra, who tendered his unconditional resignation from the IPS effective January 16, 2024, has not received acceptance from the state government.
Previously, Anand Mishra had been placed at the disposal of the Government of Manipur to lead Special Investigation Teams (SITs) formed for incidents in Manipur. However, recent reports indicate that Mishra has been attached to the police headquarters, pending clarification on the reasons for his resignation. This attachment to the police headquarters implies that the senior officer is placed on administrative leave until a decision or inquiry is completed.
