Originally from Kerala, he operated a gang active in Mumbai's eastern suburbs of Ghatkopar, Tilak Nagar and Chembur.
On 21 September 1983, he was shot dead by the Pathan gang because he had helped Dawood Ibrahim by instructing a gang member David Pardeshi to shoot dead Amirzada from the Pathan gang.
