Pune : Standing before hundereds of supporters at a candlelight march, a grieving father made an emotional appeal that resonated far beyond the gathering. Vishal Agrawal, father of 26 year old Ketan Agarawal urged anyone who was at Lohagad Fort on June 18 to come forward with even the smallest piece of information that could help investigators uncover what really happened to his son.
“Even if you think what you saw is insignificant, it could be the missing piece that help us get justice,” he said, appealing to visitors not to remain silent if they witnessed anything unusual that day.
The appeal comes as the investigation into Ketan’s alleged murder continues to gather momentum. Pune Rural Police are examining witness statements, digital evidence and other material while questioning individuals connected to the case. Investigators are working to reconstruct the sequence of events that led to the young man’s death.
The candlelight march, attended by family members, friends and local residents, turned into a powerful call for justice. Holding candles and placards, participants expressed solidarity with the Agarwal family and demanded a fair, transparent and speedy investigation.
Fighting back emotion, Vishal Agarwal described the past few days as the most painful period of his family’s life. He said no parent should have to endure such a loss and reiterated his determination to ensure that those responsible are held accountable under the law. The Family has also demanded the strictest punishment if the accused are convicted.
According to the police investigation so far, Ketan Agarwal is alleged to have been pushed into a gorge at Lohagad Fort, resulting in his death. The accused have been arrested, and investigators are probing whether the incident was pre planned. Police have stressed that the investigation is still underway, and the allegations will be tested through the judicial process.
The case has sparked widespread outrage across Maharashra, drawing attention on social media and prompting citizens to participate in marches and campaigns seeking justice for Ketan. As investigators continue to piece together the evidence, the family believes eyewitness accounts from people present at Lohagad Fort on June 18 could play a crucial role in revealing the complete truth.
For Vishal Agarawal, the appeal is about more than solving a case. It is a father’s final hope that someone holds the answer that could bring his family closer to justice.
