(News18 Marathi) The death of Ketan Agarwal, 26, a member of a prominent business family, was initially thought to be an accident on Pune’s Lohagad Fort, then what gave away the murder plot laid by his fiancée, Siya Goyal? According to the Pune Rural Police, it was a youngster wearing a hoodie amid the heat, who was later identified as her alleged lover, Chetan Chaudhary, 22. ‘Siya got sympathy’ Addressing a press conference, Pune Rural Superintendent of Police Sandeep Gill explained how officers uncovered the alleged conspiracy. Initially, a case of accidental death was registered, and sympathy was centred on Siya Goyal, 26, whose fiancé had fallen into a gorge and died while taking pictures just days before their wedding.
However, investigators said inconsistencies in her statement prompted a deeper probe. During the investigation, police examined the CCTV footage from routes leading to the fort and noticed a young man travelling behind the couple’s vehicle. Officers found his presence suspicious, particularly a hoodie that he was sporting despite the hot weather. Further scrutiny of CCTV footage from areas surrounding the fort allegedly showed the same man in the vicinity of the site of the accident, police said, according to News18 Marathi. According to police, this discovery established a possible link between the man and Goyal, leading investigators to intensify questioning. Police said Goyal confessed to her role in the crime. Investigators believe the CCTV footage and the movements of the hooded man played a crucial role in unravelling the alleged murder conspiracy. ‘Siya Goyal was unhappy with the alliance’ Police said the wedding between Siya Goyal and Ketan Agarwal had been arranged by their families, and both had initially agreed to the alliance.
Preparations for the wedding were reportedly underway on a grand scale, with special flights booked for guests and a venue reserved in Jaipur. However, investigators claimed that Siya was in a relationship with another man. According to police, she was unwilling to proceed with the marriage and eventually decided to eliminate what she saw as an obstacle to her relationship.
