Investigation Links Ketan Agarwal Murder to Secret Marriage Claims and Similar Past Case
The investigation into Pune businessman Ketan Agarwal's murder alleges that his fiancee, Siya Goyal, and her boyfriend, Chetan Chaudhary, conspired to kill him by pushing him off Lohagad Fort in June. Police suspect the couple secretly married months before Siya's engagement to Agarwal, a claim under verification amid digital evidence scrutiny. Authorities also note similarities between this case and the 2025 murder of Raja Raghuvanshi, suggesting Goyal studied that case to avoid detection. However, Pune Police have denied confirming the secret marriage, and Siya's lawyer dismissed such reports as baseless.
