A 71-year-old man, Devichand Agarwal, dies of a cardiac arrest weeks after the death of his grandson, Pune realtor Ketan Agarwal, whose death is under investigation. Ketan died after a fall from Lohagad Fort near Pune on June 18, 2026. While the incident was first treated as an accident, police later allege it was a planned murder.

The Agarwal family says Devichand was deeply distressed after learning of Ketan’s death and that his health deteriorated rapidly, with reports of admission to an ICU before he died. Family members describe his inability to recover from the emotional shock, with one relative saying he did not share the news of Ketan’s death with others for about 13 days and that his condition worsened shortly afterward. Social media posts and ongoing investigation steps, including crime scene recreations and further forensic work, continue as court proceedings unfold regarding police custody and related requests.
