Siya Goyal, accused in the murder of her fiancé Ketan, tells investigators that taking his life appeared “easier” than ending the engagement or informing her family about her decision not to proceed with the marriage. Police records cited by multiple outlets say Goyal allegedly told them she did not want to hurt her family by calling off the wedding. According to the accounts, she also described a plan to make the death look like an accident, after which she reportedly suggested killing Ketan and then passing it off as an accident at the fort would be simpler than confronting her parents.

One report also states that prior to the incident, Goyal had told Agarwal that she did not wish to marry, but that he allegedly refused to end the engagement. The outlets present these statements as part of what police say she has told investigators. The reports do not provide additional independent verification of the claims, and the case remains under police investigation and legal scrutiny.
