FDA Seals Spice Shop Linked to Siya Goyal's Family Over Food Safety Violations
The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has ordered the closure of M/s BG Goyal Company, a spice and dry fruits shop in Pune owned by Pravin Goyal, father of Siya Goyal, an accused in the Ketan Agarwal murder case. The FDA seized 4,172 kg of food products worth over Rs 8 lakh, including turmeric powder, sesame seeds, and soybean chunks, citing alleged labelling violations, possible adulteration, and licence non-compliance. Samples were sent for laboratory testing, and the shop remains closed pending further orders. Separately, Pune police investigated reports of a secret marriage between accused Siya Goyal and Chetan Chaudhary but found no CCTV evidence at the Rajasthan temple. Both accused remain in judicial custody as the murder investigation continues.
