Before returning to Punjab in 2022, he lived in Dubai. After the death of Punjabi actor Deep Sidhu, he became the chief of Sidhu’s pro-Khalistani organization, Waris Punjab De.

He was charged under the National Security Act and sent to Dibrugarh Jail. In the 2024 parliamentary elections, he won the Khadoor Sahib seat and was recently granted a four-day custody parole to take his oath as a Lok Sabha member.
