Later, he was appointed as the gunman for Damodar.

In 2017, Aithu injured his spinal cord and decided to leave the party. But the leaders wanted him to continue and promoted him as the area committee member. In 2019, he was appointed as the commander of Sandor security guard. But he could not continue, so he surrendered to the police.
