[3] Many of his ancestors were Freedom Fighters, including Raja Nahar Singh who fought against the British in the Indian Rebellion of 1857.
He served as Chairman of the Appointments, Promotions, Disciplinary, and Allied Matters Committee while holding the role of Leader of the House within the corporation from 1985 and 1990.
[2] In 2001, The Government of Delhi assigned Bandhu the Minister of Industry, Environment, Forest & Wild Life, Labour, Employment, and Election.
Bandhu died on 17 September 2003, at the age of 72, due to an infection in his intestine, coupled with multi-organ failure.
Several senior members of the Congress and the Opposition attended the burial and offered their condolences, as did Sheila Dikshit, the chief minister.
[9][10][11][12] The bungalow in which Bandhu died has gained notoriety for its alleged association with ill fortune, purportedly impacting the lives of its occupants.
In 1952, the first Chief Minister of Delhi, Chaudhary Brahm Prakash, moved into the bungalow, but he was unable to finish his tenure.
The bungalow is located at 33 Shamnath Marg in North Delhi's Civil Lines area, and was once a prestigious address until Bandhu's death.
