A legal battle has erupted over who represents murder accused Siya Goyal. Advocate Ashutosh Srivastava claims his appointment is valid and filed, threatening defamation suits against Siya's brother, Sahil, who denies engaging him.

Another lawyer, Vipul Dushing, also claims representation. Siya and co-accused Chetan Chaudhary were remanded in police custody over the alleged murder of businessman Ketan Agarwal.
