Fiance conspired with boyfriend to commit murder According to police investigation, the murder of 26-year-old real estate businessman Ketan Agarwal was conspired by his fiance Siya Goyal along with her boyfriend Chetan Chaudhary. Ketan and Siya got engaged in February this year and both were supposed to get married in November this year. Police have arrested both Siya and Chetan, and both are currently in judicial custody. Ketan survived by grabbing a bush in the first attempt Police said that the accused made their first attempt to kill Ketan on June 14. Siya took Ketan to Lohagad Fort that day and pushed him into the valley there. However, Ketan grabbed a bush and hung on, saving his life. At that time, Siya pretended to see a snake to divert the conversation and distracted Ketan. After that, she convinced Ketan and brought him back home. Pushed down from the fort the second time After the first attempt failed, Siya convinced Ketan to go to the fort again a few days later. This time, Siya's boyfriend Chetan Chaudhary was also already present there. When Ketan arrived, Siya and Chetan came from behind and pushed him hard. Ketan Agarwal died on the spot due to falling into a deep valley. The police have revealed the case and sent both accused to jail.

Ketan's sister asked - How did Ketan fall? Siya's demeanor suddenly changed at this question. She was unable to answer properly. Ketan's sister became suspicious and told her father Vishal Agarwal - Brother is a good tracker, his death cannot be an accident. Siya is not answering properly. Vishal also already suspected that something was not right. After this, Vishal met Pune Police again and expressed suspicion about Siya. He also said that Siya talks to a boy, and that should also be investigated. Second Clue: A boy wearing a hoodie in summer was seen in the fort's CCTV footage Police extracted CCTV footage of Lohagarh Fort. In these, a person was seen several times around Ketan and Siya, who arrived there on June 18. It was summer, and the fort had a climb, yet the footage from the fort's stairs showed that he was wearing a hoodie. According to the police, the boy was trying to hide his face. Third Clue: Siya's more than 2000 calls to one number Police scrutinised Siya's call records. On one mobile number, from January until 7 AM on the day of Ketan's murder, Siya made 2004 calls, talking for about 338 hours, meaning they talked for about 2 hours in 11 calls daily. This number belonged to Chetan Chaudhary, the son of another business family from Pune. Chetan's house was in the same area of Pune where Siya's father's office is located. 2 Reasons for the Murder; Claim - Siya was not ready for marriage Siya was not ready for marriage: Police suspect that the main accused, Siya Goyal, was not mentally ready for marriage and was going to marry Ketan under family pressure. The police are investigating this aspect as one of the possible reasons for the murder.
