“I never imagined that I would have to write to you seeking justice for my son. Like every mother, I dreamed of watching Ketan build a beautiful life, get married, and grow old with us. Instead, I had to perform the last rites of my child,” the victim’s mother wrote in her letter.

Rakhi Agarwal, who described the devastating impact of the loss on her family, said her “whole world had ended” after the alleged murder of her son.

“My son was brutally murdered, and with him, Meri Puri Dunya Shali Jaiye (My whole world is gone.) Every corner of our house reminds me of him. His room, his clothes, his pictures, and the silence that replaced his laughter, remind me every day that he will never come back.

She also wrote about the double tragedy that befell the family following the accident. She talked about Ketan’s grandfather, who passed away less than three weeks later. She added in the letter: “Our family suffered another heartbreaking loss when my father-in-law died just twenty days after Ketan’s death. He loved Ketan very much and could not bear the grief of losing his grandson. Within days, our family lost two generations.”

“Every day without justice deepens our pain,” she wrote. “Kitan cannot return, but those responsible for his murder must receive the harshest punishment under the law.”

“I humbly request you to ensure that my son’s case gets the attention it deserves and that justice is done without unnecessary delay,” Rakhi Agarwal added.

“Please don’t let Ketan become just another case file. He was someone’s son, someone’s grandson, someone’s brother, but to me, Woh meri puri dunya tha “(He was my whole world),” the message further stated.

The mother concluded her message by pledging to continue fighting for her son.

“Every night I look at his picture and say: “Beta, maa abhi bhi tere lei laad rahi hai.” (Son, your mother is still fighting for you.) I only pray to say to him one day: “Beta…do justice to Mil Gaya.” She wrote: “Son… you got justice.”
