The father of murder victim Ketan Agarwal has filed a petition seeking capital punishment for the accused, alleging that the family of his son’s fiancée, Siya Goyal, was involved.
Ketan Agarwal’s father has approached the courts demanding the death penalty for those accused of his son’s murder. The petition, filed shortly after the case gained media attention, seeks the maximum punishment under Indian law.
In the filing, the grieving father alleges that the family of Agarwal’s fiancée, Siya Goyal, played a role in the crime. He claims that the involvement of the Goyal family contributed to the circumstances leading to the killing, though no formal charges against them have been recorded yet.
Legal experts note that capital punishment in India is reserved for the "rarest of rare" cases and that any such demand will be scrutinised by the judiciary. The court’s decision will hinge on the evidence presented during trial, and the investigation remains ongoing.
