Ketan Agrawal's Grandfather Devichand Agrawal Passes Away Days After Grandson's Murder
Pune, July 4: The Agrawal family has suffered another tragedy with the passing of Devichand Kishanlal Agrawal, the grandfather of murdered businessman Ketan Agrawal. The 83-year-old died on Saturday evening while undergoing treatment in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at a private hospital in Pune.
According to family sources, Devichand Agrawal had been admitted to the ICU two days ago after his health deteriorated. He was reportedly deeply distressed by the death of his grandson, Ketan Agrawal, who was allegedly pushed off Lohagad Fort and murdered. The incident had left him emotionally shattered, and he was said to be constantly worried about the family’s situation and the ongoing investigation.
Family members said Devichand Agrawal was struggling to cope with the loss of his grandson. He had also reportedly expressed regret over Ketan’s engagement to the prime accused, Siya Goyal. His deteriorating health eventually led to his hospitalisation, where he passed away despite medical treatment.
Participated in Candle March Seeking Justice
On June 27, Devichand Agrawal had joined a candle march held at Gahunje in Pune, demanding justice for Ketan Agrawal. Speaking to the media during the event, he had said that the family felt betrayed by people they had trusted for years.
He had also demanded a thorough investigation into everyone allegedly involved in arranging Ketan’s marriage with Siya Goyal and called for the strictest punishment, including the death penalty, for the accused Siya Goyal and her alleged boyfriend, Chetan Chaudhary.
Accused Sent to Judicial Custody
Meanwhile, the two accused in the Ketan Agrawal murder case, Siya Goyal and Chetan Chaudhary, were produced before a court on Friday. Police had sought a three-day extension of their custody for further investigation. However, the court rejected the request and remanded both accused to 14 days of judicial custody. The investigation into the case is ongoing.
