But a section of users on social media platforms like Twitter were upset over the fact that he was wearing Real Madrid jacket. Tyagi was presented before the media at the Noida Police Commissioner's office after his arrest where the top official gave details about his escape route and the things found from his possession.
As the politician stood behind Noida police commissioner Alok Singh, Twitter users noticed his attire and immediately started tweeting about it.
