Controversies	Son Nishant's Bullying Case: On 22 February 2014, Raj Kumar's son Nishant reportedly bullied a fellow schoolmate named Kulraj Bedi at the Gems Cambridge International School. On 23 February 2014, Kuraj committed suicide by consuming poison, following which his father, Vishal Bedi, lodged an FIR. According to the complaint, Kulraj was beaten by Nishant and five other students, who torn his clothes and ridiculed him. Due to this, he refused to attend school. Vishal also organised a protest rally seeking justice for Kulraj. In March 2014, the court rejected Nishant's bail plea. However, an interim bail was granted by the court in April 2014. On 8 February 2014, Vishal lodged another complaint in which he alleged that Raj Kumar had tried to intimidate him and force him to settle the matter outside the court. He reportedly told Vishal that the cops "were in his pocket" and that nothing would come from the complaint. He was also quoted saying that "he had already got cancelled the FIR by using his influence and money and he is not afraid of anybody now." Forgery Allegations: In 2022, Raj Kumar allegedly forged documents to promise funds for roof repairs to 4,600 poor individuals and later led a misleading protest when the funds were not received. Initially, CM Bhagwant Mann ordered action against him, but after Raj joined AAP, no FIR was registered despite a report confirming the allegations. On 19 March 2024, Shiromani Akali Dal leader Bikram Singh Majithia demanded a CBI probe into the matter. [1]The Times of India
