Controversy
In September 2020, a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) was filed before the Jharkhand High Court alleging that Nishikant Dubey had made false claims in his election affidavits for the 2009, 2014, and 2019 general elections regarding his educational qualifications. The petitioner asserted that Dubey had claimed to possess a Master of Business Administration degree from the Faculty of Management Studies (FMS), Delhi University. In support of the allegation, the PIL cited a response to a Right to Information (RTI) application from Delhi University, which reportedly stated that no student by the name “Nishikant Dubey” was enrolled at the said institute.
In March 2024, an FIR was filed against allegedly for usurping a private medical college through fraudulent means using the Medical Council of India and the Baba Baidyanath Medical Trust.
In April 2025, Dubey made a controversial remark against Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna, accusing him of causing religious wars and civil uprising in India, in response to the ongoing hearings regarding the challenge to the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025.https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/supreme-court-nishikant-dubey-asaduddin-owaisi-tubelights-thumbs-up-a-owaisi-slams-bjp-mps-remarks-against-top-court-8208299.He also made similar remarks about the former Chief Election Commissioner of India, Dr. S.
