Amit Lodha (Hindi: अमित लोढ़ा) (born 22 February 1974) is a 1998 batch Indian Police Service (IPS) officer of Bihar Cadre, currently serving as Inspector General of SCRB [State Crime Record Bureau] Bihar. He has received several awards for his work. He is known for his book Bihar Diaries: The True Story of How Bihar's Most Dangerous Criminal Was Caught. The web series Khakee: The Bihar Chapter on Netflix is based on that book.[1][2][3][4][5]

Early life and career

Lodha is a 1995 alumnus of IIT Delhi He joined the IPS in 1998. During his District Training, he was trained under IPS Gupteshwar Pandey. After the infamous Manikpur (Manipur) Village Massacre in 2006, Amit Lodha was posted in the newly created, Sheikhpura District of Bihar in 2006 by the then CM Nitish Kumar.[6] [7] He was instrumental in the nabbing and crackdown of Politically protected Ashok Mahto Gang during his tenure there. Lodha used his expertise in technology as an engineer to set-up Call Observation and Parallel Listening for members of the gang. During his investigation and intelligence gathering he discovered political backing by JDU leaders and party president Rajiv Ranjan Singh, Randhir Kumar Soni the then MLA of Sheikhpura to the Ashok Mahto Gang.[8] Mahto was arrested in 2006, while he was travelling to court; Bihar Military Police (BMP) officers carried out a procession in which Mahto, half-naked and bleeding, was dressed in garland of slippers. This incident proved controversial and the region's backward castes saw it as a punishment to the gangster for opposing Bhumihars. Mahto enjoyed considerable support among the backward classes; his public humiliation prompted questions such as; "Can the police humiliate an upper-caste gangster in a similar manner?".[9]

Amit Lodha was promoted to Deputy Inspector General of Police, CID in 2013.[10]

Amit was also posted as DIG and later promoted to IG in Border Security Force on central deputation in 2019. [11][12][13]

As of February 2024, Lodha is an Inspector General of Police [IG] rank officer in Bihar Police.[14][15]

Controversies

In December 2022, Lodha was booked under several sections of Indian Penal Code and Prevention of Corruption Act for entering a commercial deal with Netflix as a government servant and writing the book Bihar Diaries without taking prior permission or approval from the government.[16] Lodha has mentioned that he has done nothing wrong.[17][18] Controversy has also been created by the media that he was suspended but he has never been suspended, the government has also not released any statement regarding the suspension. He is still in service serving as Inspector General of Police, at State Crime Record Bureau, Bihar Police.[14]
