He reportedly ran towards the spot where Siya told him someone had fallen, without providing further details. Then call the police.
The murder case has sent shockwaves across the country, with Sia’s family also breaking their silence and calling for strict action against the perpetrators.

“Sia never expressed her dissatisfaction with the wedding. Since the match ended, she has always been happy. She has always spoken about Ketan. If they (Ketan’s parents) had informed us even slightly that something was wrong, we would have spoken to them,” he told news agency ANI.
