Calling it a “false incident,” police said Agarwal made the allegations owing to “personal reasons.” Mentions of an OYO room and a female friend in the police statement shedding light on Agarwal’s incident have led netizens to demand justice for Tripathi, who they are alleging has been cheated upon.
However, as per police, he reached an OYO hotel in Sector 121 around 1:07 AM and left the hotel only around 11:45 AM the next day.
After a call from his wife, Aaj Tak anchor Chitra Tripathi, who told him to come home immediately, Agarwal left his friend around 10:45 PM.
