The father of Chetan Chowdhury, who is one of the prime suspects in the murder of real estate businessman Ketan Vishal Agarwal, has claimed that is son is being falsely framed in the case. Babulal Chowdhury, the father of Chetan, insisted on Wednesday that his son had no role in the tragedy that unfolded at Lohagad Fort on 18 June, 2026. In an interview with news agency ANI, Babulal said that his son is being made a scapegoat in the case. However, he said that Chetan told his parents he was heading out for a meeting on the day, and did not provide them with any details of his destination or whom he was meeting. Quick answers to key questions • 5 QUESTIONS 1 What evidence supports the police's allegations against Chetan Chowdhury in Ketan Agarwal's murder? ⌵ The police have claimed that CCTV footage shows a man, identified as Chetan, wearing a hoodie on a hot day near Lohagad Fort, which raised suspicions about his involvement in Ketan's murder. 2 Why is Chetan Chowdhury's family defending him in Ketan Agarwal's murder case? ⌵ Chetan's family, particularly his father Babulal, insists he is being falsely framed and had no role in Ketan's death, claiming that he was merely a bystander during the incident. 3 How did the police conclude that Ketan Agarwal's death was a planned murder?
⌵ Investigators found that Siya Goyal had planned Ketan's murder following previous visits to Lohagad Fort, where she discussed the murder plan with Chetan and even attempted to push him off the cliff before the fatal incident. 4 Should Ketan Agarwal's family have trusted the initial police report that labeled his death as accidental? ⌵ Given the conflicting signals from law enforcement and evidence of premeditated actions by Siya, Ketan's family had valid grounds for skepticism about the initial classification of his death as accidental. 5 What motivated Siya Goyal to allegedly commit murder before her wedding to Ketan Agarwal? ⌵ Siya reportedly feared family humiliation over breaking off her engagement and preferred to eliminate Ketan rather than elope with her lover, Chetan Chowdhury. "We have never seen the girl in question and know absolutely nothing about her," Babulal told ANI, referring to Ketan's fiancee, Siya Goyal, who has also been arrested. "In fact, I only found out her name, Siya, yesterday. He is being falsely framed and has no involvement in this matter." "He clearly told us that he did not push the boy and was standing far away. The girl was the one standing right there when the boy fell," he claimed, adding that while he does not know if Siya pushed Ketan, his son was "standing a little further back." He has also claimed that local law enforcement has been giving the family conflicting signals regarding the arrest of his son.
