Mr. Sharad Kumar, a retired IPS officer who led the NIA for four years, has been appointed as the new chief of the BCCI’s Anti-Corruption Unit, bringing extensive experience to the role. Once a seasoned Top Cop, Mr. Kumar hails from Bareilly in Uttar Pradesh, and the BCCI’s ACU appointed him for a three-year term. His name was finalised in the BCCI’s Annual General Meeting on September 29th.

Mr. Sharad Kumar, a 1979-batch Haryana cadre IPS officer, had a distinguished career, especially as the chief of the National Investigation Agency from 2013 to 2017. He is set to replace IPS K K Mishra (1987 batch), who was appointed to the post last year.

After serving in the NIA, the 68-year-old ex-Cop was appointed as the Vigilance Commissioner in the Central Vigilance Commission from June 2018 to April 2020, where he also held the interim position of Central Vigilance Commissioner. In his new role, Mr. Kumar will play a crucial part in addressing corruption issues, including match-fixing and betting scandals, thereby reinforcing the BCCI’s commitment to maintaining the integrity of the game.

During his tenure as NIA Director General, he oversaw several high-profile investigations and operations and played a pivotal role in enhancing the NIA’s capabilities and infrastructure. During his tenure, the NIA investigated several major terror attacks in India, including the Pathankot airbase attack by terrorists of the banned Jaish-e-Mohammed.

Mr. Kumar’s efforts were instrumental in disrupting terror financing networks and his contribution to law enforcement has been recognised with the President’s Police Medal for Meritorious Services in 1996 and the President’s Police Medal for Distinguished Services in 2004.
