The death of 26-year-old real estate director Ketan Agrawal in Pune has brought his fiancée Siya Goyal and her lover Chetan Chaudhary into the spotlight. The incident occurred just months before their scheduled marriage.
Initially believed to be an accidental death, the case unfolded into a murder conspiracy after Siya Goyal and Chetan Chaudhary allegedly confessed to pushing Agrawal from Lohagad Fort near Lonavala on June 18.
Several clues, including Siya's insistence on going to Lohagad a second time, Agrawal's missing passport, and a hoodie worn by Chetan in peak summer, helped the cops crack the murder plot.
Siya Goyal, 20, belongs to an affluent business family in Pune, like her fiancé Agrawal, the director of family-run real estate firm Success Group.
The couple had visited Lohagad Fort for a trek four days before Agrawal's death, when Siya allegedly made an attempt to push him off a cliff after claiming to have spotted a snake.
Siya and Chetan have been booked for murder and conspiracy under sections 103 and 61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). The two have been arrested and sent to seven days of police custody.
