The accused was staying at a five-star hotel and had traveled from Bareilly to Greater Noida in order to purchase a property. Police sources also implied that Goyal’s mental state wasn’t good without offering any proof.

Following the appearance of the graffiti, the AAP alleged that the BJP was responsible for the incident and that the saffron party was alarmed by the prospect of losing all seven of Delhi’s Lok Sabha seats.
