Ankit Goel aka Goyal of the Bank of Baroda was detained by the Delhi Police for writing threats against Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on the signs and walls of a Delhi metro coach
The arrest of Ankit Goel was reportedly prompted by CCTV footage from metro stations that purportedly captured him writing on the signboard. As per reports, he travelled to Greater Noida from Bareilly in order to register the home.
Ankit wrote, “Kejriwal please leave Delhi or else you will remember the three slaps you got yourself killed before the elections.”
Who is banker Ankit Goel (Goyal) of Bank of Baroda, Bareilly who wrote messages threatening to kill Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal on metro station
Ankit Goel had written derogatory remarks about Arvind Kejriwal on signs at the Rajiv Chowk and Patel Chowk stations as well as the walls of a metro carriage. Concerns over the Jal Board’s audits and purported “kickbacks” that AAP leaders allegedly received from the liquor policy were also brought up in the communications.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) wrote a letter to the Indian Election Commission in response to the occurrence. The BJP was accused by party officials of planning to attack and cause harm to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
The Delhi Police’s Metro Unit had filed a FIR and was looking into the situation.
An AAP MP said, “This person’s words are like those of the BJP… this has been done at Patel Nagar and Rajeev Chowk Metro stations both inside the platform and outside but no action has been taken yet.”
AAP MP Sanjay Singh earlier claimed that BJP has been in a state of panic ever since Arvind Kejriwal came out of jail during a press conference in the nation’s capital. According to him, the BJP is preparing to strike Arvind Kejriwal with deadly intent.
Who is Ankit Goel?
32-year-old Ankit Goel works at the Bank of Baroda in Bareilly and is purportedly a BJP devotee. Since Goel is said to have flown from Bareilly to Delhi in order to write death threats against the Chief Minister who is currently in office, the episode has raised questions over the extent of brainwashing and polarisation in the nation.

Ankit Goel, the accused, is a highly educated person, according to the authorities. He doesn’t belong to any political organisation. Sources, however, imply that the accused may not be in excellent mental health; nonetheless, this can only be verified following a medical test.
The accused, Ankit Goyal, was produced before a magisterial court late in the afternoon and he was granted bail. Bail was granted on the grounds that the offences under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) invoked against the accused were bailable.
Goyal, a loan manager at a PSU bank in Bareilly, was arrested on Wednesday and was brought to Delhi.
