The death of Ketan Agarwal continues to spark public outcry as his family challenges the official police version of events. At the heart of the dispute is a series of phone records that his father, Rajesh Agarwal, claims prove a deliberate attempt to obscure the sequence of events leading up to his son’s final hours.
Rajesh Agarwal told reporters Wednesday that he possesses evidence of a “busy phone” status during the critical window when police reports suggest his son was unreachable. According to the family, these logs contradict the timeline provided by investigators, who have characterized the incident as a straightforward case.
“They want us to believe a narrative that doesn’t fit the data,” the father said. He argues that the phone activity—which shows an outgoing call being placed while authorities claim the device was inactive—points to someone else handling the phone, or at the very least, a significant oversight by the investigating team.
The family is now calling for a transparent forensic audit of the digital evidence. They allege that the police are applying a double standard, moving quickly to close the file while ignoring leads that suggest foul play.
Legal experts monitoring the case note that the discrepancy in phone logs could force a re-evaluation of the initial report. If the device was active when it should have been silent, the entire timeline of the incident loses its foundation.
Despite mounting pressure from the family and local activists, the police department has remained tight-lipped. An official statement issued late Tuesday evening reiterated that the investigation is “following standard protocols,” but failed to address the specific time-stamped logs the family has brought to the public’s attention.
For the Agarwal family, this isn’t just about a procedural error. It’s about a pattern of indifference they believe has plagued the investigation from day one. They are now taking their findings to higher authorities, demanding that the case be handed over to an independent body before more evidence is lost or dismissed.
As the family prepares to release further documentation to the media, the question remains whether the police will address these inconsistencies or continue to hold their ground. Until they do, the public perception of the case is shifting from a tragic accident to a potential cover-up.
