He is one of the key figures in the dera hierarchy, for he is said to have been handling the dera affairs after Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, Honeypreet and Vipassana.

He was absconding after the Rampura Phul police had booked him with eight other Premis on August 25 under Sections 436, 148, 149, 153-A, 143, 120-B and 109 of the IPC and provisions of the Public Property (Prevention of Damage Act), 1985.

They were allegedly involved in setting a Sewa Kendra on fire and inciting other Premis to violence in the wake of Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh’s conviction in a rape case.
