Controversies | • In November 2013, a Media Sarkar sting operation aired allegedly showing several leaders of the Aam Aadmi Party agreeing to assist in land deals and other financial arrangements in return for cash donations. The party responded by calling the footage fabricated, a violation of the Model Code of Conduct and threatening to sue Media Sarkar and any TV channels that aired the video. Thereafter Chaurasia was sued for defamation by the party national secretary, who alleged that the sting operation was faked to harm the party's fame. • In August 2013, the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee filed charges against India News for repeatedly airing an interview with a spokesman for Asaram Bapu which allegedly contained factually incorrect statements about a series of sexual assault allegations against him. In December 2013, criminal charges were also brought against Chaurasia alleging that he had personally tampered with documents related to the sexual assault allegations. • Arrest Warrant for ‘intentionally avoiding’ POCSO trial: On 2 November 2022, a special POCSO court in Gurugram issued a non-bailable warrant against Deepak Chaurasia for ‘intentionally avoiding’ POCSO trial. Chaurasia and eight others are accused of broadcasting ‘edited,’ ‘obscene’ videos of a child and linking them to the Asaram rape case. [1]Newslaundry |

What happened to @DChaurasia2312? Is he not well? Why was he removed from his show 'Desh ki Behas' in mins? Why is his show not uploaded on YT? Didn't look like he was in his usual sense. Nothing he spoke made sense too. Referred to Gen Bipin Rawat as VP Singh & many such errors pic.twitter.com/7YBSUV3TFl
