Baravankala, Kakori, Lucknow - 226101, Uttar PradeshControversies• Allegations by Kishore's daughter-in-law: In March 2021, Ayush Kishore, son of Kaushal Kishore, was shot at by some unknown assailants. He claimed that his wife Ankita and her brother were responsible for the attack. The police later said that Ayush had conspired against his wife and that the attempt on his life was a part of his plan. Later, Ankita uploaded a video on social media in which she claimed that she is ending her life because of her husband, Kaushal Kishore, and Jai Devi. She later went to her in-law's house and slit her wrist after which she was admitted to the hospital and was saved by the doctors. Kaushal, however, did not say much in his defence, but he claimed that the family was not happy with Ayush's marriage to Ankita as it was a love marriage. He also said that the family had nothing to do with Ayush and Ankita. In June 2021, after Ankita went missing, her father Ashish Singh accused Ayush and Kaushal of kidnapping her. He also claimed that after Ankita got kidnapped, she messaged her family and told them that she was kidnapped by Ayush's brother Vikas and his friend Armaan Gazi. The police, however, said that Ankita's family had not filed a missing complaint and saw it as a conspiracy against Kaushal and his family. Kaushal defended himself by calling the allegations false and baseless.

• Remarks on the Shraddha Walker case: In November 2022, after the gruesome murder of Shraddha Walker in New Delhi, Kishore Kaushal attracted controversy after giving a statement and said that educated girls must take a lesson from the "uneducated girls" and should refrain from entering a live-in relationship. He further held Shraddha responsible for her murder and urged the girls in India to get married to a groom of their parent's choice. In his statement, Kaushal said,
"It is the responsibility of girls also, as they leave their parents, who have reared them up for years, in one go. Why are they living in live-in relationships. If they have to do so, there should be proper registration for live-in relationships. If parents are not willing publicly for such relationships, you should have a court marriage and then live together. Most of the educated girls are going into live-in relationships. Lessons should be taken from these incidents and uneducated girls. Those who have been brought up by their parents should stay with someone as per their wishes. This should be stopped. Government has spread awareness about it over time…but will now do some decision making work to curb such incidents."
After the statement, Priyanka Chaturvedi, a Shiv Sena leader, requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi to sack Kaushal for his "heartless and cruel" remarks on Shraddha Walker.
