Life Transformation:

In 2010 he read news that 17 Indians have been awarded death penalty for a group fighting that led to the death of a Pakistani man. He couldn’t digest the fact that 17 people had to die compensating for the death of a single man. This became a point of transformation in his life and he decided to fight their case, which he won, but had to pay 2.2 million dollars from his personal saving.

Since then, he has never looked back. He has paid blood money for the release of 100+ people, brought back more than 100 dead bodies after clearing the formalities and has rescued 5 girls stuck in gulf, while he fights the cases of 105 more.

Back home he organizes medical camps where free medicines are distributed, eye surgeries and general health checkup is done. He adopts terminally ill patients and has already donated more than 400 dialysis units.

He also adopts children from universities to take care of their education, provides infrastructural, developmental and monetary supports to schools and runs a few institutions himself. He is coming up with 5 schools of specially abled children in Punjab, Haryana and Himachal with boarding facilities and a school with lodging for orphans in Kathmandu Nepal.

Other than these, he runs a fixed monthly pension initiative for the poor and under privileged, which has more than 10,000 beneficiaries as of now.

According to him, for overall development, skill development is necessary. So he runs Stitching, Computer, Electrical and Electronic and Beautician Training Centers in low-income regions for making the people skilled and also helps them in job assistance.

Living the spirit of giving, he says— do all good, by all means, to all the people, as long as you can.
