The Government of Assam has announced the appointment of Deputy Inspector General of Police (Admn.), Partha Sarathi Mahanta as the additional Deputy Inspector General of Police for Special Task Force (STF). This marks the first time that the state government has created the post of Deputy Inspector General of Police (STF).

A notification issued by the government stated that Mahanta will hold the additional charge of Deputy Inspector General of Police (STF), in addition to his current duties with effect from the date of taking over charge. Earlier this month, Mahanta was released from his charge of Joint Commissioner of Police, Guwahati and posted as the Deputy Inspector General of Police (Admn).
