26-Year-Old IPS Officer Dies in Road Accident on Way to First Posting in Karnataka

According to police on Monday, Harsh Bardhan, an IPS officer, unfortunately died in a traffic accident on his way to his first assignment in Hassan district. Madhya Pradesh was home to Harsh Bardhan, an IPS officer from the Karnataka cadre who was a member of the 2023 class. The police car he was riding in apparently had a tire break near Kittane in Hassan taluk on Sunday evening, causing the collision. Because of this, the driver lost control, and the car crashed into a home and a wayside tree.

Bardhan suffered serious head injuries while traveling to Holenarasipur to take up his probationary position as Assistant Superintendent of Police. He passed away in the hospital from his wounds despite receiving immediate medical assistance. Minor injuries were received by the driver, Manjegowda. Bardhan had finished a four-week training course at the Karnataka Police Academy in Mysuru before to the event. “Sadly, such an accident happened while he was on his way to take charge as an IPS officer,” said Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, expressing his sympathies to Bardhan’s family. When years of diligence were beginning to pay off, this shouldn’t have occurred.
