In 2015, Nawab Singh Nagar came into limelight when he justified the infamous Dadri lynching of Mohammad Akhlaq by locals due to consumption of beef and called the accused as "innocent kids", which created a huge outrage accusing him of aggravating the violent situation.

His angry supporters accused Gautam Budh Nagar Lok Sabha MP Mahesh Sharma of using his veto power against Nawab Singh since Mahesh Sharma was afraid of Nagar's stronghold in his constituency.
