Rahamatulla, the son of a carpenter, is one of six siblings from a Muslim family in West Bengal.[1]

He won a bronze medal as a member of India's 4 x 100 metres relay team at the 2010 Commonwealth Games, which set a national record in the final.[2]

At the 2010 Asian Games he was fourth in the 4 × 100 metres relay, but the result was annulled when it was revealed that teammate Suresh Sathya had tested positive for nandrolone prior to the games.[3]
