Doval and his organisation have attracted scrutiny by left-leaning news portals due to their alleged growing influence, opaque funding and ties to some of India cabinet ministers. Doval filed a criminal defamation case against The Caravan and Congress leader Jairam Ramesh for 'deliberately defaming him “seemingly to settle scores” with his father. In December 2020, Ramesh apologised in court for "any hurt the statements may have caused".
