Agartala, 12th November 2026 : Three senior officers of the Tripura Police Service (TPS), Kishore Debbarma, Rajib Nag and Rajib Sengupta, have been promoted to the Indian Police Service (IPS), bringing recognition to their years of service in the state police force.
The three officers were formally adorned with IPS insignia by Tripura Director General of Police (DGP) G.S. Rao during a piping ceremony organised at the Police Headquarters on Thursday.
The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), through a notification dated November 6, 2026, approved their appointment to the IPS under the Select List of 2025 and allotted them to the Tripura cadre.
The appointments have been made through promotion in accordance with the Indian Police Service (Recruitment) Rules, 1954, and the Indian Police Service (Appointment by Promotion) Regulations, 1955.
As stipulated in the notification, the newly elevated IPS officers will serve a probation period of one year and undergo the prescribed induction training. Their appointments will, however, remain subject to the final outcome of Special Leave Petition (Civil) Nos. 19765–19767 of 2015 in the case involving the State of Tripura and Jayanta Chakraborty and others.
The development marks a significant career achievement for the three officers and is expected to contribute to the state’s police administration and leadership.
