A major development has emerged in the sensational Pune murder case involving the death of 25-year-old realtor Ketan Agarwal. Investigators say accused Siya Goyal allegedly told police that she wanted to end her engagement with Agarwal but claimed he remained committed to the relationship despite her objections.
The case, which has drawn widespread attention across the country, is being investigated as an alleged murder conspiracy involving 20-year-old Siya Goyal and her alleged boyfriend, Chetan Chaudhary.
What Police Say
According to investigators, Siya Goyal informed police during custodial interrogation that she was unhappy with the arranged marriage and had expressed her desire to call off the engagement.
Police sources stated that she allegedly told Ketan Agarwal she did not want to continue the relationship and requested that marriage plans be cancelled. However, investigators claim Ketan continued pursuing the relationship and remained actively involved in wedding preparations.
Authorities are examining whether personal differences, family pressure and an alleged romantic relationship with another individual played a role in the events leading up to the incident.
Alleged Murder Plot Under Investigation
Police allege that Siya Goyal and Chetan Chaudhary planned the murder of Ketan Agarwal.
According to the investigation, Agarwal was on a trek at Lohagad Fort near Pune when he allegedly fell from a cliff. Investigators suspect the incident was not accidental and are probing claims that he was pushed during the outing.
The police are continuing to collect digital evidence, call records and witness statements to establish the sequence of events.
Family Recalls Earlier Concerns
Ketan Agarwal’s father, Vishal Agarwal, revealed that his son had occasionally expressed concerns about the relationship after the couple got engaged earlier this year.
According to the family, Ketan and Siya met frequently following their engagement and often spent time together. However, Ketan had reportedly shared doubts about the relationship and had raised questions regarding certain aspects of Siya’s behaviour.
The family also claimed that Ketan had mentioned the name of Chetan Chaudhary before the incident, leading him to suspect a possible connection between the two.
Investigators Examining Relationship Angle
Police officials believe the relationship angle remains a crucial part of the investigation.
Authorities are analysing communication records and other evidence to understand the nature of the interactions between Siya Goyal and Chetan Chaudhary. Reports indicate investigators are reviewing thousands of phone calls and messages exchanged over several months.
Officials have stressed that the investigation remains ongoing and that all allegations are being verified through evidence and witness testimony.
Case Continues to Draw Attention
The Pune murder case has sparked widespread discussion due to its alleged mix of relationship conflict, family expectations and criminal conspiracy.
As investigators continue their probe, police are expected to focus on digital evidence, motive and the circumstances surrounding Ketan Agarwal’s death at Lohagad Fort.
Further developments are likely as authorities complete forensic analysis and continue questioning the accused individuals.
