Pune Rural Police filed a detailed 5,053-page chargesheet in the murder case of businessman Ketan Agarwal, who died after being pushed off Lohagad Fort on June 18. The chargesheet names his fiancee Siya Goyal, her alleged lover Chetan Chaudhary, and Ritesh Hange as accused. Evidence includes witness statements, digital data, call records, and CCTV footage.
