==Criminal Allegations==
In 2015, a Delhi court had put Umesh Aggarwal and Sandeep Luthra for allegedly raping a woman in a hotel after giving her sedative-laced drink.

However, in 2017 the court absolved them for alleged offences of rape on the grounds that the prosecution had not been able to prove its case against them beyond reasonable doubt. The three accused had argued that there was a monetary dispute between the woman and Rekha Suri (the third person accused and friend of the woman), due to which allegations were made by her against all the three. Additional Sessions Judge Shail Jain said the woman had turned hostile and there was nothing incriminating against the accused. The judge also dispensed with the recording of the statements of the accused.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://m.economictimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/court-frames-rape-charges-against-bjp-mla-umesh-aggarwal-two-others/articleshow/49013662.cms|title = Court frames rape charges against BJP MLA Umesh Aggarwal, two others|newspaper = The Economic Times}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.tribuneindia.com/mobi/news/haryana/bjp-gurugram-legislator-acquitted-in-rape-case/406189.html|title=BJP Gurugram legislator acquitted in rape case}}</ref>
