Career
editIn 2014, Umesh Aggarwal won the 2014 Haryana Legislative Assembly election with a record margin[8] of 84,095 votes from Gurgaon, defeating Gopi Chand Gehlot of Indian National Lok Dal.[4] In April 2018, he was appointed the state media-in-charge of Bharatiya Janata Party in Haryana.[9]
Criminal Allegations
editIn 2015, a Delhi court had put on trial 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 doubts. 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 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.[10][11]
