Delhi Police Arrests Man for Anti-Arvind Kejriwal Graffiti

The Delhi Police apprehended a 33-year-old man from Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, on Wednesday for allegedly creating anti-Arvind Kejriwal graffiti in Delhi Metro stations and inside its coaches.

The individual responsible for inscribing the messages and sharing the photographs on his Instagram account has been identified as Ankit Goel, an official stated.

Social Media Outcry

On 20th May (Monday), numerous images of the graffiti targeting the Delhi Chief Minister circulated widely on social media, prompting a strong rebuke from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).

Shortly thereafter, a CCTV footage of the incident emerged online, depicting a man writing on the wall of a metro station.

Details of the Offender

According to the officer, Goel, employed as a loan manager in a government bank in Bareilly, traveled to Delhi, composed the messages, and then returned to his hometown.

Goel informed the police that he was formerly a supporter of the Aam Aadmi Party but became disillusioned due to the “recent developments” within the party, the official added.

The messages scrawled inside metro trains and at stations were disseminated via the Instagram account “ankit.goel91.”

Content of the Messages

One of the messages inscribed inside a metro coach read, “Kejriwal Dilli Chhor Dijiye (Kejriwal, leave Delhi). Please. Otherwise, you will have to remember three slaps, which you planted (sic) before the election. Now the real and actual punch/slap will be there soon. Today’s meeting at Jhandewalan…. Ankit.Goel_91.”
