Police to Conduct Gait Analysis in Ketan Agarwal Murder Investigation

Analysed 30 Jun 2026·4 sources analysed·Vadgaon Maval, India·Crime
Police to Conduct Gait Analysis in Ketan Agarwal Murder InvestigationPreviousNext

In the Ketan Agarwal murder case, Pune police have extended custody of accused Siya Goyal and Chetan Chaudhary until July 3, 2026, as investigations continue. Authorities plan to conduct a forensic gait analysis of Chaudhary, comparing his walking pattern with CCTV footage showing a hooded individual near the crime scene at Lohagad Fort. Gait analysis studies unique walking characteristics and is used to corroborate other evidence in identifying suspects when facial recognition is not possible.
