New Delhi: The Delhi Police has arrested a man, who wrote threatening graffiti against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal at Delhi Metro stations, an official said on Wednesday. The arrested accused has been identified as Ankit Goyal, who is said to be a loan manager in Bank of Baroda. It is said that the accused was earlier a supporter of Aam Aadmi Party's national convenor Arvind Kejriwal, but has been critical of the party for some time now due to which he painted the threatening graffiti about Delhi CM Kejriwal.
The case of threatening messages against CM Kejriwal inside the metro train coach and at many stations came to light on May 20. Aam Aadmi Party leaders targeted the BJP and Delhi Police regarding these message. AAP leaders had said that CM Kejriwal's life was in danger.

The Aam Aadmi Party had accused the ruling BJP of plotting to “launch deadly attack” on Kejriwal. Party leader and MP Sanjay Singh while addressing a press conference in the national capital recently said, "The BJP has been in a state of panic ever since Arvind Kejriwal came out of jail. The BJP is now plotting to launch a deadly attack on Arvind Kejriwal..”
