Noida, 30th Oct: Senior BJP leader, former Rajya Sabha MP and Security and Intelligence Services (SIS) Group founder Dr Ravindra Kishore Sinha, popularly known as RK Sinha, passed away on Friday at the age of 75. He breathed his last at his residence in Noida, Uttar Pradesh.
His demise has triggered an outpouring of condolences from political, social and business circles. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Union ministers and senior BJP leaders have expressed grief over his death, describing it as a major loss for Bihar, the country and the business community.
According to family sources, Sinha’s mortal remains are being taken from Noida to Patna, where people will be able to pay their last respects. Arrangements are reportedly being made at his Patna residence for party workers, supporters and members of the public to offer tributes. His last rites are expected to be held in Patna, with the possibility of state honours.
From Journalism to Building a Security Industry
Born on September 22, 1951, in Buxar, Bihar, Sinha began his professional journey as a journalist. A graduate in political science and law, he also worked as a war correspondent during the 1971 India-Pakistan war.
After the war, he focused on creating employment opportunities for retired and former armed forces personnel. With a modest initial investment, he established Security and Intelligence Services (SIS), which grew into a major private security company operating in India, Australia and other countries.
The company expanded into a multinational business employing a large workforce, establishing Sinha as one of India’s prominent figures in the private security industry.
Political Career and Social Contributions
Alongside his business career, Sinha remained associated with the Bharatiya Janata Party and served as a Rajya Sabha member from Bihar between 2014 and 2020.
He was also involved in social welfare initiatives, education and the promotion of art and culture through various trusts and charitable organisations. His contributions to community development and relief activities were recognised across Bihar.
Sinha’s journey from journalism to entrepreneurship and parliamentary politics marked a significant chapter in his public life. His death is being mourned by political leaders, colleagues and members of the business community.
