Ansari recently assumed charge as the 36th SP of Sheohar district on November 7, following a government directive. Before his transfer, he was serving as City SP in Muzaffarpur.
Recognised for Policing and Public Engagement
During his tenure in Muzaffarpur, Ansari earned recognition for his policing approach, professional conduct and interaction with people from different sections of society.
His active involvement in managing crowds during the Kanwar Yatra last month was particularly noted. He remained engaged in arrangements to maintain law and order during the religious event, earning appreciation from police personnel and members of the public, according to the report.
Assumes Charge as Sheohar’s 36th SP
After taking charge in Sheohar, Ansari visited the historic Baba Bhubaneswar Nath Dekuli Dham Mahadev Temple.
He offered prayers at the temple, where he followed the local tradition of whispering a wish into the ear of Nandi, the sacred bull associated with Lord Shiva. Photographs of his visit subsequently circulated on social media.
Shares Diwali Greetings With Police Personnel
On Diwali, police personnel were deployed across Sheohar city and other locations to maintain law and order.
During the festival, Ansari distributed packets of sweets to police personnel on duty and extended Diwali greetings to them. The gesture was appreciated by people on social media.
