Pune police are investigating the death of realtor Ketan Agarwal at Lohagad Fort, which was initially reported as an accident involving a fall. Multiple reports say investigators now allege that Agarwal was pushed by his fiancée, Siya Goyal, and an associate, Chetan Chaudhary, after earlier suspicions raised by Agarwal’s family prompted a review of the circumstances. The case has expanded following claims that Goyal and Chaudhary rehearsed how the incident could be carried out, with police stating they recreated parts of the scene and recovered evidence. Authorities have scrutinized social media activity, including an Instagram post by Goyal made shortly after Agarwal’s death, as part of their effort to determine whether the accounts given to investigators are reliable. Police also allege the motive involves Goyal’s reluctance toward an arranged marriage and a secret relationship, alongside alleged family pressure. Goyal and Chaudhary are currently in custody, with court proceedings fast-tracked in some reporting. Police are seeking permission to conduct polygraph or lie-detector tests, and Goyal was reportedly taken to a site linked to the alleged rehearsals to support the investigation. The investigation is ongoing, with conflicting claims reportedly emerging from the accused.

Actress Suchitra Krishnamoorthi strongly criticised a social media user who attempted to justify the alleged actions of Siya Goyal by claiming she was being forced into marrying Ketan Agarwal.

No ketan w would get access to her, forget marriage ....
