Netra Bikram Chand (Nepali: नेत्र विक्रम चन्द Known by Biplav (Nepali: विप्लव) is a Nepalese Maoist politician and rebellion leader. He together with fellow Maoist leader Ram Bahadur Thapa (Badal), was the two main militia commanders of Prachanda in the Nepalese Civil War (1996-2006). He separated from CPN Maoist and became the chairperson of Communist Party of Nepal in 2014. Since then, he has been staging armed struggle against the government.[1][2]

In 2017, he led the boycott of the 2017 Nepalese legislative election.[3] In February 2018, the Biplav led faction cancelled the tour of Bollywood actor Salman Khan by quoting it as "expansion of cultural intervention on Nepali soil".[4] In February 2019, Biplav led the bombings of Ncell at Nakhu.[1] On 28th Falgun 2075, the government of Nepal (Council of Ministers) declared the Biplav faction as "criminal and destructive faction" and all the members and anyone helping the faction as illegal and punishable.[5] Nepali Times considers Biplav as similar to Prachanda in the Nepalese civil war[2] Government of Nepal has been actively engaged against the activities of Biplav.
