In Mayapuri, Delhi (2008–11), he handled the high-profile radioactive material leak case, earning national and international attention for his swift investigation.

As DIG in the Andaman & Nicobar Islands, he introduced critical reforms in personnel management and infrastructure between 2011 and 2014.

Later, as Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic) in Delhi, he managed logistics and movement for high-security events like the 3rd India-Africa Forum Summit.
