Siya Goyal’s father Pravin also claimed that Siya had never expressed any reservations about marrying Ketan.
Pravin Goyal said the family was devastated by Agarwal’s death and rejected reports suggesting that an extravagant wedding between Siya and Ketan was being planned in Udaipur.
The father of Siya Goyal, who has been accused of murdering Pune businessman Ketan Agarwal at Lohagad Fort, has been hospitalised after suffering a heart attack as the high-profile case continues to unfold.
Speaking to Pune-based news platform NewsDotz from the hospital, Pravin Goyal said the family was devastated by Agarwal’s death and rejected reports suggesting that an extravagant wedding between Siya and Ketan was being planned in Udaipur.
“There was no aircraft booking. The entire wedding, including hotel bookings in Udaipur, would have cost Rs 3-5 crore,” he said, dismissing speculation surrounding the couple’s wedding.
Expressing grief over Agarwal’s death, Pravin said the family had considered him one of their own.
“What happened is a very tragic event. We still can’t believe it. They’ve lost their son, and their son was ours too. We loved him so much. I had grown so attached to him that it felt like he was our own son,” he said.
“We lost such a loving, promising and good boy. We are deeply saddened by that. There is nothing more tragic than this. We had so many good dreams for the future,” he added.
Pravin also claimed that Siya had never expressed any reservations about marrying Ketan.
“Ever since the match was finalised, she was always happy. She always talked about Ketan. If they (Ketan’s parents) had even slightly informed us that something was going wrong, we would have spoken to them,” he said.
In a striking statement, Siya’s mother, Pooja Goyal, said her daughter should face the harshest punishment if the allegations against her are proven in court.
“If she is guilty, then she should receive the strictest punishment. Hang her if she is guilty; a mother is saying this,” Pooja said.
The comments come days after Pune Rural Police arrested Siya Goyal and her alleged lover, Chetan Chaudhary, in connection with the death of Ketan Agarwal. Investigators have alleged that the duo conspired to kill Agarwal and pushed him off a cliff at Lohagad Fort near Pune on June 18.
Both accused are currently in custodyand the investigation into the case is underway.
