Mirza Agha Muhammad Baqer (Persian: میرزا آغا محمد باقر, Bengali: মীর্জা আগা মুহম্মদ বাকের) was an aristocrat of the Mughal Empire and the Zamindar of Buzurg-Umedpur and Salimabad.
In this situation, Mirza Agha Muhammad Baqer joined the cause of his father-in-law, the Naib Nazim of Orissa, to defeat Alivardi Khan.
Murshid Quli Khan II was severely wounded in battle and was defeated on 3 March 1741,[6] later fleeing to Machilipatnam in South India with Baqer.
The Naib Nazim's friend Murad Khan, the Zamindar of Khordha, intervened and saved his family from the clutches of Alivardi's troops.
Bakerganj developed into an important port city at that time, inviting Persian and Armenian merchants and Kashmiri khwajas who travelled their for salt and skin business.
In the same year, Mirza Ali Naqi, a relative of Husayn ad-Din and the Kotwal of Jahangir Nagar, attacked Agha Baqer's house to avenge the assassination.
In present times, the northern part of the Aga Sadek Park in Dhaka has a mazar (mausoleum) which contains the tomb of Mirza Agha Baqer.
