K Ramdass, 2019-Batch IPS Officer, Appointed Superintendent of Police at CBI on Five-Year Deputation
K Ramdass, a 2019 batch IPS officer of the Bihar cadre, has been inducted into the CBI as a Superintendent of Police for a five-year term [cite: 52, 53, 54].
K Ramdass, a 2019-batch IPS officer of the Bihar cadre, has been appointed Superintendent of Police at the Central Bureau of Investigation on a deputation basis for a period of five years.
CBI draws the substantial majority of its investigating officers on deputation from state IPS cadres, and an SP-level induction typically places the officer in direct case-handling responsibility, including authorising searches, recording statements, and preparing chargesheets for cases assigned within the agency's zonal or specialised wing structure.
Ramdass's relatively early-career entry into CBI, as a 2019-batch officer, is on the newer end for SP-level deputations to the agency, which more commonly draw officers with a decade or more of state cadre experience, though CBI does periodically induct younger officers into operational roles based on specific skill sets or vacancy requirements within particular investigation wings.
The five-year tenure length gives Ramdass a substantial horizon within the agency, longer than the standard three-year initial deputation term some central agencies apply, allowing him to build sustained familiarity with CBI's investigation procedures and case management systems across a meaningful stretch of his early IPS career.
CBI's case load spans corruption cases against public officials, economic offences, and cases referred by state governments or courts, with SP-level officers typically assigned to a specific zone or specialised wing based on the agency's current staffing needs and the officer's particular background or training.
Bihar's IPS cadre has periodically supplied officers for central deputation to CBI and other agencies, a pattern consistent with the broader system through which state cadres release officers for defined central tenures based on availability and the officer's own eligibility and interest in central deputation.
The deputation was processed through the Department of Personnel and Training in coordination with the Bihar state government and CBI's administrative wing.
