In 2010, he successfully cleared the UPSC Civil Services Exam with an All India Rank (AIR) of 225, joining the Indian Police Service in the 2011 batch under the Assam-Meghalaya cadre. During his 12-year tenure as an IPS officer, he held significant positions such as Superintendent of Police (SP) in districts like Charaideo, Dhubri, Nagaon, and Lakhimpur.
