Early life and background

Vikas Vaibhav was born on 21 November 1979 in Barauni, Bihar. He grew up in that region and attended a sequence of schools across India, including Kendriya Vidyalaya branches in Guwahati, Bairagarh and Noida, St. Paul’s School in Barauni Refinery Township, and Sardar Patel Vidyalaya in New Delhi. He completed a Bachelor of Technology in Mechanical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur.

Career

Vaibhav entered the Indian Police Service and began his training at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy in Hyderabad. Early in his career he served as an Assistant Superintendent of Police in several districts including Bhagalpur, Aurangabad, Danapur, Patna, Bagaha, Rohtas, Darbhanga and Purnea. Over time he moved through senior roles: Superintendent of Police at the National Investigation Agency, Senior Superintendent of Police in Patna, Deputy Inspector General of Police for the Eastern Range at Bhagalpur, and Deputy Inspector General of Police at the Anti-Terrorist Squad in Bihar. He has also served as Special Secretary of the Home Department, Government of Bihar, and was appointed Inspector General of Homeguards and Fire Services, Bihar in October 2022.

Throughout his postings Vaibhav combined investigative responsibilities with community-focused initiatives. He was part of operations that reclaimed Rohtas Fort from Maoist control and reinstated it as a site for national observances. He worked on major investigations while at the National Investigation Agency, including probes related to Indian Mujahidin, and played a role in the arrest of accused persons in the Bodhgaya bomb blast case. As an officer posted in Bagaha, he contributed to restoring public trust in the administration, which helped enable the holding of a Lok Sabha election there after a gap.

Vaibhav has also experimented with management and accountability in policing. When posted in Patna he introduced processes to track and accelerate investigations such as requiring reports on car theft recoveries to improve performance and recovery rates. He launched grassroots engagement efforts like ‘Lok Samvad’ in Bhagalpur to reduce distance between police and the public.

Public profile

Vaibhav has cultivated a public-facing profile beyond policing. He runs a blog called Silent Pages, launched in 2013, dedicated to lesser-known aspects of Indian history, and has said he has visited over 200 historical sites domestically and abroad. He maintains a YouTube channel aimed at civil service aspirants, where he offers guidance and has been referred to by students as “Guru Cop.” He has announced initiatives such as offering free coaching for underprivileged students preparing for competitive exams, and he has promoted youth-oriented campaigns including “Let’s Inspire Bihar.”

His personal interests include travelling, photography, reading and writing. Vaibhav has spoken about being influenced by works such as The Light of Asia and poems by Ramdhari Singh Dinkar during his formative years. He has described a long-standing interest in public service dating back to childhood and strengthened during his time at IIT Kanpur.

Awards and recognition

Vaibhav received the Satyendra K Dubey Memorial Award from IIT Kanpur in 2019. In local communities he has earned public appreciation for his outreach; residents of a village in Bagaha dedicated a crossroads in his name in recognition of his work there.

Controversies

In February 2023 Vaibhav received a departmental show-cause notice after a social media post became public and was alleged to disclose internal discussions. The notice cited possible breaches of conduct rules and referred to concerns about confidentiality. Following the episode, he sought a transfer and leave; the home department issued a notice regarding the matter and public comment was made by the state chief minister about officers using social media to raise internal concerns.
