West Bengal is a state, situated in the eastern part of India. There are two types of Police Forces in West Bengal. One is called West Bengal Police and the other is Kolkata Police. This article deals only with West Bengal Police.
The West Bengal Police was reorganized under provisions of the Police Act 1861 during the British Empire. Currently, it is operated under the governing body of the state Government of West Bengal. The West Bengal Police headquarters is Bhabani Bhawan, situated at Belvedere Rd, Alipore Police Line, Alipore, Kolkata, West Bengal 700027.
The headquarter building's name is Bhabani Bhawan. During the British period, the building was known as ‘Anderson House’. After independence, on 12.09.1969, it was renamed Bhabani Bhawan after the name of great patriot Bhabani Prasad Bhattacharya who was born in Joydebpur, Dhaka.
Bhabani Prasad Bhattacharya joined the revolutionary organization in his early student life. He went to Darjeeling in 1934 along with two other activists with the objective of assassinating the notorious Governor Anderson. They fired on Anderson in Lebong Race ground on 5th August 1934. The shots misfired and all three were arrested. In the trial, one of the associates was released scot-free for confessing his guilt, the second one was imprisoned and Bhabani Prasad was awarded capital punishment. He was hanged in Rajshahi Central jail on February 3, 1935.
The historic Bhabani Bhawan now houses the West Bengal Police Head Quarter. Hon’ble Chief Minister of West Bengal, Smt. Mamata Banerjee inaugurated the West Bengal Police Directorate at Bhabani Bhawan, Alipore Police Line, Kolkata on 24th February 2014.
