Yes this guy called " SURAJ" composed for Street Singer and the film had
ome good Rafi songs. Actually that time there was a rumour that Shanker
( of Shanker-Jaikishen) used this dummy name of SURAJ and composed for
this film which was produced/directed by his friend Chandrashekhar (
Both are from Hyderabad). This was the time when there were strong
rumours that S-J may split over Sharda. This rumour was strenghtened by
the fact that Sharda had sung few songs for Street Singer.

I recall reading a story around the time that it was
Sharda herself who had composed the music for this
film under the assumed name "Suraj".
I think "Suraj" (1966) was the debut film for Sharda
as a playback singer ("Titli uRi"), hence the choice
of this name for her debut as a Music Director.

According to "Encyclopaedia of Indian Cinema" by Rajadhyaksha and
Wilemen:

For Chandrashekhar's Street Singer, Shankar used the name Suraj.

singer,music by Suraj. does any body give info.about this music direcor

actually very little is known about this small time music director -Suraj of the sixtees. of what I know I used to think he was assisting Shankar _Jaikishan and then he was given a break in 1966 for "street singer" under the name suraj. but after that there was no news about him . did he score music for other films.there is no info about him.
