Tourist Visits Increase at Lohagad Fort Amid Ketan Agarwal Murder Investigation
Lohagad Fort near Pune, a historic UNESCO-recognised site known for trekking and its association with Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, has seen a 25-50% rise in visitors following the murder investigation of realtor Ketan Agarwal.

The surge in tourists, many seeking to see the alleged crime spot dubbed 'Siya Point,' has led authorities to temporarily close the fort to protect the investigation and evidence.
