It was revealed that he was conducting a recce and conspiring to conduct serial blasts in the national capital, for which he was sentenced to 10 years’ imprisonment on August 7, 2003. After his release from prison, he moved to Pakistan and became the leader of the TRF in the aftermath of the 2019 Pulwama terror attack.
