It is a fort dating back to the 10th century and is associated with one of India's most iconic kings, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. If that wasn't enough, it is a UNESCO-recognised site and offers an accessible 2-3 hour trek through stunning landscapes. But the historic site is now attracting visitors for one main reason: To see the spot where Ketan Agarwal was pushed into a gorge allegedly by his fiancee Siya Goyal and her lover, Chetan Chaudhary.
Footfall at the iconic Lohagad Fort, about 50 km from Pune, has gone up by over 50% since news of the murder broke last week, officials said. "While approximately 1,000 tourists used to visit on holidays before, the figure has now risen to 1,500. The number of visitors on weekdays, which used to be around 400, has now crossed the 600 mark," said an official. This was borne out when NDTV visited the fort on Tuesday.
