In June 2017, two cases were filed against him for protesting against the amendment of Chhotanagpur Tanacy Act 1908 and Santal Pargana Tanacy Act 1949, falsely accusing him for instigating the Adivasis for protesting against the Jharkhand government.

He reported refusing to pay bribes during his passport application process. In May 2016 he was also offloaded from a Delhi-London Air India flight, on his way to attend an international seminar highlighting the situation of Adivasis.On this occasion, he was branded an ‘anti-State and Maoist sympathizer’, even though he has always impartially criticized both sides in the Maoist conflict, and believes that criticism of wrongdoings by State officials should be understood in a positive light, as part of an effort to bring about changes for the better.

Adivasi Adhikar; Jharkhandi Kaun? CNT/SPT Kanoono main Sanshodhan Kyun? Bhumi Adhigrahan, Punrvas aur Punarsthapna Kanoon main Sanshodhan Kyun? Jharkhand main Jameen ki Jung; Supreme Court ke Judgement aur Adivasi Adhikar; Panchvi Anusuchi aur Adivasi Adhikar; Hamare Gaon men Hamara Raj; and Ulgulan Ka Sauda. Books he has co-authored with others include: Vikas Ke Kabargah and Jharkhand main Asmita Sangharsh. He has edited two others: Nagri Ka Nagara and Jharkhand Human Rights Report, 2001-2011.
