Kishore Kunal was born on August 10, 1950. He joined the Indian Police Service (IPS) in 1972 as part of the Gujarat cadre. In 1983, he became the Superintendent of Police in Patna. During his career, he was appointed by Prime Minister VP Singh as Officer on Special Duty for the Ayodhya dispute, where he worked to mediate between the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and the Babri Masjid Action Committee.
Later, Kishore Kunal left his police job because of his deep faith in Lord Mahavir and joined the Patna Mahavir Mandir.
