Rapid Read Ketan Agarwal Murder Case: Ketan's father urged authorities to ensure that the case is heard in a fast-track court and that those found guilty receive the strictest punishment allowed under the law. Ketan Agarwal Murder Case: The father of Pune realtor Ketan Agarwal, who was allegedly murdered at Lohagad Fort last month, has written to President Droupadi Murmu, seeking a fast-tracked investigation and speedy justice for his son. In an emotional email sent to the secretary to the president on Wednesday, Vishal Agarwal said his family had been devastated not only by Ketan’s death but also by the loss of his own father just 20 days later. Vishal said Ketan’s grandfather could not cope with the grief of losing his grandson. His health deteriorated, his blood pressure dropped and he eventually died after suffering a cardiac arrest. “I am writing this email with a heart full of pain and hope. I am not writing as a businessman or someone with influence. Main sirf ek baap hoon, jo apne bete ke liye insaaf maang raha hai (I am writing as a father seeking justice for his son)," he wrote. ‘Every Night, We Sleep With The Same Question’ Describing the pain his family has endured since Ketan’s death, Vishal said their lives had completely changed.

“My son Ketan was brutally murdered. Since that day, our lives have completely changed. Every morning we wake up with the same pain, and every night we sleep with the same question: When will Ketan get justice?" he wrote. Vishal said the family’s suffering deepened when his father died within just 20 days of Ketan’s death. “He loved his grandson more than anything. He could not bear the shock and grief of Ketan’s death. His blood pressure dropped, and eventually his heart stopped working. In just 20 days, I lost both my son and my father. Our family has been shattered," he said. Father Seeks Fast-Track Trial And Strictest Punishment Vishal urged authorities to ensure that the case is heard in a fast-track court and that those found guilty receive the strictest punishment allowed under the law. He stressed that the family was not asking for special treatment but only wanted justice without unnecessary delays. “Delay in justice only increases the pain of families like ours," he said. Vishal added that while Ketan could never return, those responsible for his death should not be allowed to believe they could escape or delay the consequences of the crime. “A strong punishment will not only give us some peace, but it will also send a message that innocent lives matter and that such crimes will never be tolerated," he wrote. Concluding his appeal, the grieving father urged the President to personally look into the matter and help ensure speedy justice. “Please don’t let my son’s case become just another file.
