He is former Indian Ambassador to Saudi Arabia. [1] Javed is the second former Mumbai police commissioner to get a diplomatic posting after J. F. Ribeiro who served as Indian ambassador to Romania between 1989 and 1993.
A 1980 batch IPS officer,Ahmed Javed was appointed as the Commissioner of Mumbai Police on 8 September 2015 by the Maharashtra Government replacing Rakesh Maria. [2] [3]
He served as Superintendent of Police in Buldhana and Nanded before being posted as Deputy Commissioner of Police,Intelligence,in Mumbai. He then served in various postings,including a stint with the Delhi Police between 1983 and 1985. He returned to Mumbai in the early 2000s,serving as Additional Commissioner of Police of the Central Region and then the South Region,before being promoted to Inspector General of Police,he was posted as Joint Commissioner of Police (Law and Order). He served in this key post from 2002 to 2005.
After being promoted as Additional Director General of Police,Javed was posted with the state reserve police force and with the Maharashtra Police Headquarters as ADG Establishment,and then he took over as Commissioner of Police,Navi Mumbai in 2010. He currently is Ambassador of India in Saudi Arabia. [4]

There was a controversy over Maria's appointment as a commissioner though Ahmed Javed was the senior for the Commissioner of Police post. [8]
Ahmad Javed was surprised when his junior,Rakesh Maria,who is from the 1981 batch,had been appointed the CP instead of him.[ citation needed ] Many suspected political favouritism and questions were raised on how a junior-level officer had become the commissioner superseding the senior. In Feb 2014,Maria had taken charge as the Mumbai Police commissioner –a prestigious post –superseding his senior,Javed,who was then promoted by the Cong-NCP government as DG,Home Guards,a post that does not have much to offer to an officer.[ citation needed ]
"Maria managed to get the post of Commissioner of Police as he was very close to some NCP leaders who helped him take the posting superseding seniors like IPS officer Vijay Kamble,who was made Thane Commissioner of Police and Ahmad Javed,who became DG,Home guards",said a police officer.[ citation needed ] Javed and Kamble had both protested at the time and some IPS officers,like Prem Krishna Jain,had even resigned,as they were upset with the government's system of appointing people.[ citation needed ]
Javed could have never thought that he would become the Commissioner as he had already been promoted as Director General of Police and the post of Mumbai Police Commissioner is held by an officer of the rank of Additional DGP,which is a lower post. However the rank for the post for Commissioner was upgraded to that of Director General. After the announcement by the CM,Javed was appointed as Commissioner,which left Maria in confusion by the sudden announcement.[ citation needed ]
The tables turned,with Maria proceeding on leave to protest against the government's decision. However most in the force felt that justice had finally been done and a deserving officer was finally,if not belatedly,appointed. After taking the reins of Commissioner,Javed had a very successful term. He introduced various new policing and citizen outreach schemes including the launch of the extremely popular Mumbai Police Twitter handle.[ citation needed ]

Attribution of the 2008 Mumbai attacks were first made by the Indian authorities who said that the Mumbai attacks were directed by Lashkar-e-Taiba militants inside Pakistan.

To back up its accusations,the Indian government supplied a dossier to Pakistan's high commission in Delhi.
