After leaving the militant organization TSPC, he formed his own group, known as the Alok Gang. He was involved in multiple crimes, including arson and shootings, particularly in the Budhmu and Khalari areas of Ranchi.
One of his most infamous crimes was an attack on the Chhappar Balu Ghat in Budhmu, which led to the issuance of a warrant for his arrest. In retaliation, Rahul’s gang brazenly set fire to three trucks in the Khalari area.
