Investigators claim she first tried to push him from a cliff on June 14, but he survived after grabbing a bush. Four days later, she allegedly returned to the fort with Ketan while Chetan followed them, and the pair pushed him into a gorge, causing his death. Call records reportedly revealed thousands of conversations between Siya and Chetan, some lasting several hours. During questioning, Chetan allegedly told investigators that Siya was unwilling to break off the engagement and elope because she feared bringing dishonour to her family. Both accused have been arrested and charged with murder and criminal conspiracy.
