Alleged Murder of Ketan Agarwal and Arrest of Accused

Twelve days before Ketan Agarwal was allegedly killed, he was supposed to head to Bali with his fiancée, Siya Goyal. A pre-wedding photoshoot planned. Things went sideways fast.

The trip got cancelled because Ketan’s passport vanished. Poof. Gone. Less than two weeks later, the real trouble started near Pune. Allegedly, Ketan was pushed to his death from Lohagad Fort by Siya and her lover, Chetan Chaudhary.

Ketan’s father, Vishal Agarwal, said something about this back then. They were leaving on June 6th. Four people traveling. Only Ketan's passport disappeared. He had to come back from the airport. They didn't really sweat how just that one passport vanished.

But police are saying something else entirely now. They allege Siya deliberately hid Ketan’s passport. She didn't want him to go to Bali with her.

That was all part of it, apparently. Siya and Ketan got engaged back in February. Families were gearing up for a big wedding in Rajasthan in November. A lot of planning involved.

The first incident happened on June 14th. They went trekking at Lohagad Fort. Ketan’s dad claims Siya pushed him there. But he somehow survived, holding onto a tree. Siya later claimed she just saw a snake and pushed him by accident.

Four days after that, on June 18th the day before Siya’s birthday they were back at the fort. Police now believe something much darker happened then. They allege Siya and Chetan Chaudhary pushed Ketan into a gorge. A four hundred foot deep drop. They tried to make it look like an accident.

Siya told the authorities that Ketan had slipped while taking photos, that he fell into the gorge.

Investigators, though, started getting weird. Ketan was an experienced trekker. They looked at witness stuff. Technical evidence came in. Info from sources. And things got suspicious quickly. Sandeep Singh Gill, the Pune Rural Superintendent of Police, said this much surfaced during the probe. Siya and Chetan, they had known each other for about a year. They apparently plotted this.

On June 18th, the police narrative shifted. Siya informed them Ketan slipped. But that didn't sit right with the evidence gathered. Through those sources and statements the people who knew things it came out that Siya Goyal and Chetan Chaudhary had conspired to kill him. They pushed him down there. Caused the fall.

A murder case got filed at Lonavala Rural Police Station. Siya Goyal and Chetan Chaudhary were arrested. They’re in custody now, held until June 29th.</p
