The parents of Siya Goyal have broken their silence regarding the murder of Ketan Agarwal, calling for the strictest punishment for their daughter if found guilty.
This public dissociation marks a significant turn in the case as the family of the accused aligns themselves with the pursuit of justice against their own kin. The statements come amid ongoing investigations in Pune, Maharashtra.
Pravin Goyal, the father of the accused, said he was completely unaware of his daughter's relationship with Chetan Choudhary [1]. He said that the family would have cancelled the wedding had they known about the relationship [1].
In a demand for accountability, Pravin Goyal said, "Push the guilty off same fort, even if it's my own daughter" [1]. His wife said that Siya Goyal should be given the strictest punishment if she is found guilty [2].
The case involves the death of Ketan Agarwal. Evidence from CCTV footage indicates that Agarwal met Siya Goyal at 4 a.m. [3]. This detail helped the family and investigators work to crack the case [3].
The family's decision to speak publicly emphasizes the severity of the allegations against Siya Goyal. By distancing themselves from her actions and her associations, the parents have positioned themselves as supporters of the legal process rather than defenders of the accused.
“"Push the guilty off same fort, even if it's my own daughter"”
The willingness of the accused's immediate family to demand the maximum penalty suggests a breakdown of familial support, which often complicates the defense strategy in high-profile criminal cases. Their public denial of knowledge regarding Chetan Choudhary further isolates the accused, potentially narrowing her legal options and increasing the social pressure for a conviction.
