However, in 2010 his life changed after he read the news that 17 Indians have been awarded death penalty for a group fighting that led to the death of a Pakistani man. The idea that 17 people were going to be hanged for a single person’s death did not sit well with him. So he fought the case to save those people and even won it, but he had to pay 2.2 million dollars from his personal saving.

After this life-altering experience, he pledged 98% of his income to the service of humanity and formed his charity ‘Sarbat Da Bhala Charitable Trust’. With time, the Trust expanded its areas of operations in Dubai. It began assisting in bringing dead bodies back home and rescuing girls stuck in the Gulf region. Till now, the Trust has successfully brought back over 80 dead bodies and rescued five girls while it fights for the rescue of 105 more.
