A man from Pune, Ketan Agrawal (also reported as Ketan Agarwal), is alleged to have been murdered at Lohagad Fort after a planned attempt, according to police-linked reports. NDTV reports that his 20-year-old fiance, Siya Goyal, met her lover, Chetan Chaudhary, at a cafe hours before the killing to plan the murder. Hindustan Times adds that the duo allegedly conspired to kill him after a first attempt reportedly failed. The reports say the fiancee pushes the man, along with the involvement of her lover, into a gorge near the fort.
Both outlets describe a motive tied to the woman’s relationship: Hindustan Times states she did not want to marry Ketan and viewed him as an obstacle to her relationship with her lover. NDTV similarly frames the killing as connected to the fiancee’s relationship with another man. Investigators are treating the incident as a conspiracy between the woman and her lover, with the accused allegedly acting together in the hours before the fatal assault.
