Lead Story
The Indian Police Service (IPS) has long been a symbol of prestige, power, and public service. However, a growing trend of young officers resigning from the service within a few years of joining raises pressing questions about the pressures and realities of the job. The latest in this line is Kamya Mishra, known as Bihar’s ‘Lady Singham,’ who resigned at the age of 28 after an impressive but short-lived career.
Kamya's exit follows that of another Bihar cadre officer, Shivdeep Wamanrao Lande, who stepped down in September 2024, and Assam-Meghalaya cadre officer Anand Mishra, who resigned in December 2023. Both had earned reputations as tough, no-nonsense officers, often celebrated in the media for their ‘Singham-like’ policing style. But is this kind of high visibility and early stardom proving to be more of a burden than a boon?
