Trial Begins in Ketan Agrawal Murder Case with Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam
The trial for the murder of Ketan Agrawal, allegedly pushed off Lohagad Fort by his fiancée Siya Goyal and her boyfriend Chetan Chaudhary, began at Wadgaon Maval sessions court. Special prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam will present opening arguments on November 17, including evidence of an alleged conspiracy.
