The $K^{\pi }=0^{+}$ and $K^{\pi }=4^{+}$ bands of ${}^{52}\mathrm{Cr}$, populated through the ${}^{51}\mathrm{V}({}^4\mathrm{He},2np){}^{52}\mathrm{Cr}$ reaction with a 45 MeV ${}^4\mathrm{He}$ beam, have been studied using the Indian National Gamma Array (INGA) facility. The level scheme has been verified utilizing the results of intensity, directional correlation, and linear polarization measurements. Lifetimes of a few excited states in the observed bands have been measured/remeasured using the Doppler shift attenuation method (DSAM). Large basis shell model calculations have been performed within the $fp$ valence space to understand the microscopic origin of these bands. Structural evolution and $K$ mixing throughout the bands in ${}^{52}\mathrm{Cr}$ have been investigated using the calculated quadrupole moments ($Q_s$) and the results obtained from one-nucleon transfer spectroscopic factor calculations.
