The Commissionerate Police Headquarters in Bhubaneswar bid farewell to Jagmohan Meena, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), on 19 September following the formal acceptance of his resignation from the Indian Police Service with effect from 11 September 2026.
Meena, a 2013‑batch Odisha‑cadre IPS officer, had been serving as DCP, Bhubaneswar since March 2025. His tenure was marked by key administrative and policing initiatives in the capital city.
With his departure, speculation is rife over his successor. Names currently circulating include:
* Saravana Vivek M, IPS
* Smit Parmar, IPS
* Rishikesh Khilari, IPS
* DIG Pinak Mishra, IPS — as in-charge
An official announcement on the new Bhubaneswar DCP is expected today or tomorrow, as the Commissionerate Police prepares for a smooth leadership transition.
