[11] He was part of the club's Bangladesh tour of May 1972, where they defeated Dhaka Mohammedan, but lost to Shadhin Bangla football team.

[13] He was one of the prime faces of East Bengal team which had demolished Mohun Bagan 5–0 in the 1975 IFA Shield final at Calcutta.

[7][18] He scored 83 goals for East Bengal and 82 for the Mohun Bagan between 1969 and 1977 as Kolkata football's popularity was at its peak during that era.

He was a member of the Indian football team managed by P. K. Banerjee, that won the bronze medal in the Asian Games in 1970.

Supporters and club officials fixed the blame squarely on Bhowmick, as he was essentially the only man responsible for team making and pre-season training for the 2009–10 season.

Despite significant autonomy granted to Bhowmick by East Bengal administrators, as well as provision of extra training facilities, his team failed to perform.

On 2 December 2005, near Calcutta South Club, Bhowmick was caught red handed and arrested by the police for bribery case.

According to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), he had demanded the money from a Behala based businessman to settle his issue.
