#WATCH | Pune, Maharashtra: On the death of Ketan Vishal Agarwal, Babulal Chowdhury (father of accused Chetan Chowdhury) says, “…He did not inform me beforehand. He only mentioned that he had a meeting and was heading there. He had told his mother that in the morning, and he told me the same. He did not give me any other details before leaving after speaking with his mother…We have never seen the girl in question and know absolutely nothing about her. In fact, I only found out her name, Siya, yesterday; I have never seen her before. He is being falsely framed and has no involvement in this matter. He clearly told us that he did not push the boy and was standing far away. The girl was the one standing right there when the boy fell. I do not know whether she pushed him or not, but Chetan mentioned that he was standing a little further back…The police have informed us that this is a minor issue and is actually a case of fraud. They assured us they would release the child to us within two hours…”
