The mother of accused Siya Goyal said she supports the harshest possible punishment for her daughter if she is found guilty of murder [1].

This public statement is significant because it shows a rare lack of familial defense in a high-profile violent crime case. The mother's call for the law to take its course emphasizes the gravity of the allegations surrounding the death of Ketan Agarwal.

Speaking at Lohagad Fort near Pune, Maharashtra, the mother said to the media regarding the investigation into the death of Agarwal [1, 2]. She said that the law should take its course and expressed a desire for the strictest possible penalty if her daughter's guilt is proven [1, 2].

"Throw my daughter from the same place if she is guilty," the mother said [1].

The mother said that Ketan Agarwal was like a son to their family, which informs her stance on the legal proceedings [1, 2]. She said that if her daughter is found guilty, she should face the harshest punishment, even if it means throwing her from the same fort [2].

The incident occurred at Lohagad Fort, the same location where the mother gave her statement to the press [1, 2]. The case continues to be investigated by authorities to determine the exact circumstances of Agarwal's death and the role Siya Goyal played in the event [1, 2].

“"Throw my daughter from the same place if she is guilty."”

The mother's public condemnation shifts the social dynamic of the case, removing a traditional layer of familial support that often complicates the public perception of accused defendants. By framing the victim as a surrogate son, she elevates the perceived betrayal and reinforces the demand for maximum legal accountability.
