Hulas Pandey was born on 31st December, 1976, in Nawadih village, Rohtas district, Bihar. He is the third of four brothers. According to some reports, he ventured into the 'world of crime' following the murder of his father, Kameshwar Pandey. His elder brother, Sunil Pandey, is also a prominent political figure and former MLA, known for his strongman image in Bihar politics. Hulas Pandey began his political career by successfully contesting elections from the Ara-Buxar local authorities constituency, becoming a Member of the Legislative Council (MLC) in 2009.
