It isn't Indian but Pakistani and for the West Pakistan Police.
Nice badge. Rgds, button_guru ----------------------------- Buttons aren't just a hobby!

The star is a giveaway. Post '47 the Indians stuck the three Lions of Ashoka on wherever the old Indian Army had a crown and the Pakistani forces [generally] used a 5 pointed star in place of the crown.
The minor complication is that Nigeria, Eygpt and I think at least 1 other country use a similar star, but if the other evidence, as in this case, points to Indo-Pak, the lions and star make an easy differencing mark.
