Old video of Ketan Agarwal with fiancée's family surfaces after his murder.
A video recorded just over a month before the murder of 26-year-old Ketan Agarwal has surfaced online, showing him celebrating with his family and the family of his fiancée, Siya Goyal, during a function in Pune. The footage, dated May 7, has drawn widespread attention following Ketan's death on June 18. Shared by singer Reetu Sharma, who performed at the event, the video captures what appears to be a joyful family gathering before the tragic incident that later shocked many across the country.
In one of the videos posted on Instagram, Ketan is seen dancing with Siya Goyal's father, Pravin Goyal, to the Bollywood song "Main Nikla Gaddi Leke" from the film Gadar. Another clip shows Ketan's father, Vishal Agarwal, singing along with Reetu Sharma to the popular song "Yamma Yamma" while standing alongside Siya's parents, Pravin and Pooja Goyal, and other relatives. The videos portray both families enjoying the occasion together, making the subsequent events all the more tragic.
While sharing the footage, Reetu Sharma said she had personally witnessed Ketan's cheerful presence at the family function and described him as an innocent young man.
