What appeared to be a picture-perfect romance on Instagram is now at the centre of a sensational murder investigation. Arrested in the Ketan Agarwal murder case, Siya Goyal had spent months sharing affectionate posts, videos and wedding plans with her fiance online. Police, however, allege that behind the public display of love was a secret relationship with Chetan Choudhary and a conspiracy to eliminate Ketan. Investigators claim social media posts made before and after Ketan's death were part of an effort to portray the incident as a tragic accident. The case has stunned Maharashtra and raised questions about the contrast between online appearances and reality.

What began as an apparent trekking accident at Pune's Lohagad Fort has now turned into a chilling murder investigation. Real estate businessman Ketan Agarwal's death was initially ruled accidental, but his sister's suspicions prompted a deeper probe. Police allege that Ketan's fiancee, Siya Goyal, and her alleged boyfriend, Chetan Choudhary, conspired to kill him after months of planning. Investigators cite CCTV footage, phone records and technical evidence, including over 2,000 calls between the accused, as key leads. Both have been arrested, while police continue to investigate whether others were involved in the alleged conspiracy.

Ketan Agarwal had no inkling of his fiancee Siya Goyal's alleged affair with Chetan Chaudhary, but had felt something amiss because her phone would remain busy for hours, Vishal Agarwal, his father, told NDTV. The businessman added that his family would have called off the wedding had Siya indicated she was in a relationship with another man. Siya and Ketan, daughter and son of wealthy businessmen in Maharashtra, were engaged in February. Both families were planning a grand wedding in November. On June 18, however, Ketan fell to his death in a gorge at the Lohagad Fort in Pune while trekking with Siya. Initially, it was declared an accidental death. But Ketan's sister's suspicion led to a police investigation, which revealed that Chaudhary and Siya had pushed him. According to the police, Siya and Chaudhary were in a relationship. Ketan's father, however, said that the woman never laid bare her intentions. "We didn't know that she wasn't happy. Every other day, Ketan and Siya would go to dinners. She used to call him, my daughter and my wife...Siya never told my son about her affair. He, however, once told me that Siya's phone would remain in waiting mode... her phone always used to remain busy," he said. He said that when Ketan confronted her about her phone being busy, she said she had been talking to her friends. #KetanAgarwal #SiyaGoyal #SanjanaAgarwal #KetanAgarwalCase #LohagadFort #Pune #PuneNews #JusticeForKetan #CrimeNews #Investigation #MaharashtraNews #BreakingNews #IndiaNews #LatestNews #NewsUpdate #CrimeInvestigation #PuneCrime #LohagadFortCase
