Vigilance Investigation Unit functioned as a separate cadre within the state
police administration.
¨
Deputy Superintendents of

Police Inspectors and
Sub-Inspectors of the 2014 and 2023 batches will also be adjusted into
equivalent ranks in Bihar Police.

The service continuity of
the absorbed officers will remain protected after the merger.
¨ In terms of seniority, these officers will be placed immediately after the last-ranked officers of their respective batches in Bihar Police
¨ The move aims to strengthen administrative restructuring and integrated functioning within the Bihar Police system.
