Ketan Agarwal Murder: Why Did Siya Go To Udaipur With Chetan? Her Mother Breaks Silence Published By, Last Updated: June 29, 2026, 11:34 IST Meanwhile, investigators say Chetan's decision to go off the internet grid for nearly 640 minutes on day of murder has become one of the most damning threads in the entire probe. The Udaipur angle had emerged as a significant detail in the investigation — the city where Siya and Ketan's November wedding was to be held. As the Lohagad Fort murder case throws up fresh revelations by the day, Siya Goyal’s mother has pushed back against a key allegation — that her daughter travelled to Udaipur with boyfriend Chetan Chaudhary a month before Ketan Agarwal’s death. Pooja Goel told reporters that Siya had gone to Udaipur for a friend’s wedding and that the two did not travel together, adding that Siya had introduced Chetan to Ketan as merely a friend. Meanwhile, investigators say Chetan’s decision to go off the internet grid for nearly 640 minutes on the day of the murder has become one of the most damning threads in the entire probe.
Police say Chetan switched off his mobile internet at around 7 am on June 18 — the morning Ketan Agarwal, 26, fell to his death at Lohagad Fort — and stayed off the grid for close to 10 hours. Investigators believe the move was deliberate, designed to mask his location and movements, but say the blackout pattern has paradoxically helped them reconstruct the day’s timeline with greater precision. What Is Siya’s Mother’s Defence On The Udaipur Trip? The Udaipur angle had emerged as a significant detail in the investigation — the city where Siya and Ketan’s November wedding was to be held, and where Siya allegedly visited with Chetan in May. Pooja Goel’s explanation: it was a friend’s wedding, not a romantic trip, and the two happened to be there separately. What Does Chetan’s Internet Blackout Reveal? Key details from the digital trail, according to police • Chetan switched off mobile internet at approximately 7 am on June 18 • He remained off the grid for around 640 minutes — close to 10 hours • Investigators believe this was a calculated attempt to avoid digital surveillance • The blackout has instead helped police map the sequence of events on the day of the murder Where Does The Investigation Stand?
Siya, 20, and Chetan, 22, were arrested after police found inconsistencies in Siya’s account of Ketan’s death — she first said he slipped while clicking photographs, then changed her version to say he slipped while handing her a water bottle. Call records show the two exchanged over 4,400 calls in six months. In custody, each has blamed the other: Chetan claims killing Ketan was Siya’s idea; Siya alleges the plan was entirely Chetan’s. Police say both versions are being tested against forensic and digital evidence, and that the investigation points to a joint conspiracy. All allegations remain to be tested in court.
