==Indian Police Service==
He had appeared for Central Services Examination in 1966 and subsequently he joined [[Indian Police Service]]s in 1967 and he was allocated the "Punjab Cadre". He worked on several positions, including [[Assistant Superintendent of Police|ASP]] [[Ludhiana]], [[Senior Superintendent of Police|SSP]] [[Ferozepur]], [[Senior Superintendent of Police|SSP]] [[Faridkot, Punjab|Faridkot]], AIG [[Government Railway Police|GRP Punjab]]-Patiala division, Deputy Director of Vigilance Bureau Chandigarh, [[Commandant]] of Punjab Armed Police and Group Commandant of [[Central Industrial Security Force|CISF]], Bombay.

== Political career ==
In 1984, he resigned from his post as Group Commandant of the [[Central Industrial Security Force|CISF]] in Bombay<ref name="akalidalamritsar1"/> to protest against [[1984 anti-Sikh riots]] and attack on the [[Harmandir Sahib]] during [[Operation Blue Star]] and was detained. Mann was later charged, among other things, with conspiracy to [[Indira Gandhi assassination|assassinate Prime Minister Indira Gandhi]].

He was elected ''in absentia'' to the [[Rajya Sabha]] by an overwhelming mandate in the State of Punjab, and unconditionally released "in the interests of the State", with all charges dropped, after five years in prison, in November 1989. He was denied an Indian passport on the grounds that he was a "threat to the security and integrity of India". Mann was denied entry into the [[Indian Parliament]] when he insisted on carrying a sword with him, refusing to exchange it for an allowable smaller [[Kirpan]].<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/1990/12/29/world/premier-of-india-meets-Sikh-leader.html]</ref>

In May 1993, while campaigning in support of a candidate during the Jalandhar by-elections, a gunman attempted to assassinate Mann. However, no one was charged with the crime.

On 3 November 1999, after Mann was elected to the Lok Sabha, the [[Punjab and Haryana High Court]] ordered the GoI and the Passport Office in Chandigarh to issue a passport to Mann.<ref>{{cite web|author=Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada |url=http://www.unhcr.org/refworld/topic,464db4f52,46516083d,4829b559c,0.html |title=India: Whether members of the Akali Dal (Mann) / Akali Dal (Amritsar) party are harassed and arrested for participating in party gatherings, for publicly complaining about the treatment of Sikhs by Indian authorities or for calling for the creation of Khalistan (separate homeland for Sikhs); whether police regard members of the Akali Dal (Mann) party with suspicion and monitor them for signs of any links with terrorism (2005-2008) |publisher=United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees |date=15 April 2008 |accessdate=9 August 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121008134006/http://www.unhcr.org/refworld/topic,464db4f52,46516083d,4829b559c,0.html |archive-date=8 October 2012}}</ref>
