Step into the Underworld
Sehrawat started committing petty crimes like robbing people when she was ten years old. His first arrest was for a robbery in Haryana in 2004. Bawana served three months in jail and was later released on bail. Soon after, he was arrested again in 2005 for possessing weapons without a license. This time, he was imprisoned for two years in Delhi’s Tihar Jail. During his stint in Tihar Jail, Bawana met Fazal-ur-Rahman, a close associate of Dawood, who operated from Malaysia, Dubai, Nepal, and India and spent several months with him. From Fazal, Bawana learned the tricks of the trade, namely how to control the police and use technology without being tracked. Reportedly, it was Rahman who persuaded Bawana to venture into the extortion business by sharing the story of Dawood and his association with him.

Association & Competition with Neetu Daboda
Neeraj rose to fame after an argument with his partner in crime, Surendra Malik alias Neetu Daboda. While Neeraj is still fresh in the extortion business, Neetu is an established name in the criminal world. They joined hands at one point and together committed robberies, murders, and extortion incidents over the years. In 2011, Ajay alias Sonu Pandit, a resident of Tatesar village, Delhi, joined them. Slowly, Pandit becomes very close to Neeraj, and this becomes the reason for the distance between Neeraj and Neetu. Neetu feels that Sonu is inciting Neeraj against her and both of them can kill her. In 2012, Neetu kidnapped Sonu and brutally killed him. The incident resulted in a rift between Neeraj and Neetu. Bawana broke up with Neetu and started his own group. Since then, there have been many gang wars between the two groups. Many people have been killed in this group rivalry. Daboda later lost his life in an encounter with the Delhi Police’s Special Cell, but the gang rivalry continued.

In 2015, he was arrested from the main Rohtak Road around 3:45 am when he was on his way to meet his family. Bawana was later sent to Tihar Jail in Delhi. In jail, he befriends Naveen Bali, Rahul Kala, Sunil Rathi, and Amit Bhura, all of whom later become part of his gang. Neeraj was first admitted to jail number 1 of Tihar Jail along with other prisoners. However, he was later transferred to a high security ward (jail number 2) after the Delhi police informed the jail authorities about him being in touch with his gang members inside and outside the jail.
