Chetan Broke Down When First Attempt Flopped, Siya Watched Him Cry. Then: 238 Hours On Phone Published By, Last Updated: June 26, 2026, 07:41 IST Siya Goyal said she watched Chetan Chaudhary weep when their first attempt to kill Ketan Agarwal failed. Days later, they 'tried again' — after 2,000 calls and 238 hours on phone. Chetan told police he wanted to elope. But Siya insisted her wealthy family would hunt them down — killing Ketan, she said, was the only way out. She was his bride-to-be. He was her secret lover. Together, Siya Goyal and Chetan Chaudhary allegedly lured Ketan Agrawal — a Pune businessman days away from marriage — to a hilltop fort and pushed him 600 feet to his death. Now, locked in separate interrogation rooms, they’re blaming each other. What Pune police are calling a coldly calculated murder — six months in the making, 2,000 phone calls, 238 hours of conspiracy — is now unravelling in a courtroom of accusations. The Lohagad Fort case has it all: a love triangle, a pre-arranged death signal, a botched first attempt, and a vanished passport. And the two accused? Each is pointing a finger squarely at the other. Who Planned The Murder — And Who Is Lying? In interrogation, Chetan told police he wanted to elope with Siya and start fresh. It was Siya, he claims, who insisted there was no escape — her wealthy family would find them anywhere. Killing Ketan, she allegedly said, was the only way out.

But Siya tells a completely different story: the murder plan was Chetan’s from the start. When the first attempt on June 14 failed, she says, it was Chetan who broke down and wept. What Was The Secret Signal On The Fort That Day? This is where the case turns chilling. According to sources quoted by The Week, Siya has admitted in questioning that a pre-agreed signal was arranged for the moment of the kill. When she bent down on the fort’s edge, that was Chetan’s cue. He then allegedly pushed Ketan into the gorge — 600 feet below. The signal had reportedly been discussed and agreed upon well in advance. Had They Visited Lohagad Before — And Was The Passport Stolen? Police allege the accused had scouted Lohagad Fort on earlier visits, choosing it specifically for the act. The conspiracy, they say, didn’t begin on June 18. Months earlier, a planned Bali trip with Ketan was mysteriously cancelled after his passport went missing. Police now believe the passport’s disappearance was no accident — it was part of the same web. How Do You Plan A Murder Over 238 Hours Of Phone Calls? Cell records recovered by police show Siya and Chetan were in almost constant contact in the six months leading up to Ketan’s death — over 2,000 calls totalling approximately 238 hours. That’s nearly ten full days of conversation. Investigators believe much of this was spent coordinating the plan, though both accused are now trying to use those same call logs to pin the conspiracy on each other.
