His lawsuits before the Punjab and Haryana High Courts and Rohtak district court involve various cases including sexual harassment[12] and being unsuited for the office of director.[13][14]

In January 2024, following amendments to the Indian Institutes of Management Act, 2017, the Ministry of Education initiated an inquiry into IIM-Rohtak's finances.
