Hello Manish,

You can try out the following code to add a control to your group header:
c#:

 protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        CreateHeaderControls(e);
    }

    protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        CreateHeaderControls(e);
    }

    private void CreateHeaderControls(GridItemEventArgs e)
    {

        if (e.Item is GridGroupHeaderItem)
        {
            GridGroupHeaderItem item = e.Item as GridGroupHeaderItem;
            ImageButton imgBtn = new ImageButton();
            imgBtn.ID = "ImageBtn1";
            imgBtn.ImageUrl = "Images/Image1.gif";
            imgBtn.Click += new ImageClickEventHandler(imgBtn_Click);
            item.DataCell.Controls.Add(imgBtn);

        }
    }

    void imgBtn_Click(object sender, ImageClickEventArgs e)
    {
        ImageButton imgBtn = (ImageButton)sender;
        GridGroupHeaderItem groupHeader = (GridGroupHeaderItem)imgBtn.NamingContainer;
        groupHeader.Expanded = !groupHeader.Expanded;
    }

Thanks
Princy.
