My best guess is Assam Police, the initials "AP" still feature prominently on their modern insignia.

Assam Police is possible but there's also East Bengal and Assam Police. I have seen a EB&AP shoulder title and a medal named to them pre 1914, but at some period I guess there would be a separate Assam Police.
