He hails from Muzaffarnagar District, Uttar Pradesh, India. Recently, he came into limelight when he burnt the effigy prime minister of India Sri Narendra Modi as a symbol of protest against right-wing forces of India .
He remained a strong face against radical leftists and right winger Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad during the post 9 February controversy over Afzal Guru's hanging2016 JNU protests. He contested for the post of president of Jawaharlal Nehru University Students'Union in 2016-17 . In his presidential election debate, he stated "It was all a doing of the radical Left. They first raised anti-India slogans then retreated behind the argument for ‘azaadi’ when the heat was turned on them. Terming the radical Left of JNU as “two-faced and opportunistic”, he said, “Although I am an atheist I don’t see any point in slandering gods. When these people call Durga (the goddess) a prostitute or slander the Koran, then there will be chaos, and I am strongly opposed to such acts. AISA doesn’t believe in the Indian Constitution, yet when the government came down heavily on its members after the February event they took refuge in Article 19 (A)… NSUI is not a big force in JNU but we will try to make sure AISA and ABVP don’t win the elections ."
