Biplob Kumar Sarker (Bengali: বিপ্লব কুমার সরকার; born 16 June 1972) is a former Bangladeshi police officer who served as the joint commissioner of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police.[2] Earlier he served as additional deputy inspector general of the Bangladesh Police Dhaka Range.[3][4][5]

Early life

Sarker was born on 16 June 1972 in Kharampatti of Kishoreganj Sadar Upazila and graduated from the University of Dhaka.[6]

Career

Sarker assaulted Zainul Abedin Farroque, chief opposition whip of the parliament and politician of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, on 6 July 2011 at a hartal of the party.[7] Farroque sued him on 19 August 2024.[7][8]

On 6 April 2013, Sarker became the deputy commissioner of the Tejgaon Zone.[9] He served as the general secretary of the Bangladesh Police Service Association.[6] On 13 June 2019, he was promoted to superintendent of police of Rangpur District. On 18 October 2021, he was reappointed as the deputy commissioner of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police.[10]

On 2 June 2022, Sarker was appointed as the additional deputy inspector general (additional DIG) of Bangladesh Police Dhaka Range.[6][11][12] He was the joint commissioner of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police.[13][14]

Controversies

On 13 August 2024, Sarker was named as one of the 7 accused in the illegal shooting and killing of various students across Dhaka during the Bangladesh Quota Reform Movement,[15] along with former prime minister Sheikh Hasina, former minister Obaidul Quader, former minister Asaduzzaman Khan, and DB police officer Harun-or-Rashid.[16][17]

His house was attacked after the fall of the Sheikh Hasina government, as he was close with the Hasina regime.[18]

After the fall of the Hasina government, Biplob Kumar went missing. He didn't rejoin the police services. Sources claim that he fled to India by Lalmonirhat District border area.[19]

In July 2026, the International Crimes Tribunal accepted charges of genocide and crimes against humanity against Sarker for his involvement in a crackdown on the 2013 Shapla Square protests. The operation allegedly killed 58 unarmed Hefazat-e-Islam Bangladesh activists.[20][21]

In August 2026, Sarkar was dismissed from the Bangladesh Police for being absent from duty for over 60 days without permission.[22]
