According to Singh, he had come from Bhagalpur, Bihar, to look for a job in the city and found work as a security guard. But he was greatly affected by the deteriorating law and order situation and therefore, decided to meet the President himself. Singh called the President, sent him letters, went to the Rashtrapati Bhawan, but all his efforts proved futile. So he decided to get back at the government machinery.

The South-West district police who arrested him said, failing to gain access to the President, Singh called up the police control room on March 27 and `informed' that a bomb had been planted in the Rashtrapati Bhavan.The information reportedly had the police swinging into action, only to discover that it was a hoax.

On March 30, the police received another call from him which again proved to be a hoax. But this time the police were able to trace his call to a phone booth in Sagarpur in Dabri area. The police immediately alerted the booth owner. He was told to be on guard and help them track down the caller.

On Wednesday evening, Braham came to the booth and made the call as always, unaware that he was being watched. The phone booth owner informed the police. And the police arrested him.

Singh was arrested on cases of misleading the police.
