The Delhi Police has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly writing graffiti at a Delhi Metro station threatening Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal.

The police said that on Monday, they found threats scribbled on the walls of Rajiv Chowk and Patel Nagar Metro stations, and an FIR was registered in the case. The accused, Ankit Goyal, has been arrested from Bareilly and is being interrogated.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP, alleging they were plotting to attack chief minister Arvind Kejriwal.

AAP MP Sanjay Singh claimed  that the alleged conspiracy to target Kejriwal originated from the Prime Minister's Office (PMO).

“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. This conspiracy is being conducted directly from the Prime Minister's Office. A threat of attack on Kejriwal ji has been written at Rajiv Chowk and Patel Nagar Metro stations,” Sanjay Singh alleged.

Another senior leader, Atishi, said images of the threatening graffiti have been circulated on social media, questioning the inaction of the police and Cyber Cell despite the presence of CCTV cameras and security personnel at these stations.

"The images of the graffiti have also been uploaded on social media. These stations are under CCTVs and security personnel are posted round-the-clock. Why are the police not acting on it? Where is the Cyber Cell? This shows that this is being orchestrated by the BJP," Atishi had alleged.
