Early life and background

Rajeshwar Singh was born on 11 March 1973 in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, and grew up in the state capital.

Rajeshwar lists Lucknow as his hometown and identifies as Indian by nationality. He attended Calvin Talukdar College in Lucknow and later studied at IIT University in Dhanbad, where his formal qualifications include an MA, an LLB, a B.Tech and a PhD.

He became known for his front-line policing in encounter operations; reports attribute multiple encounter cases to his name during his police service.

In 2005 he was awarded the President’s Gallantry Medal, a recognition cited in his service record.
