Pune Rural Police filed a detailed chargesheet in the murder case of businessman Ketan Agarwal, who died after falling from Lohagad Fort. The 5,000-page document names his fiancee Siya Goyal, Chetan Chaudhary, and Ritesh Hange as accused, citing witness statements, digital evidence, and CCTV footage.
