Overview
- Ketan Agarwal was found dead after a fall at Lohagad Fort on June 18 and investigators now say evidence points to a planned push rather than an accident.
- Pune police arrested fiancée Siya Goyal and her alleged lover Chetan Chaudhary on June 23 and a court has extended their police custody to July 3 as probes continue.
- Investigators cite a phone call from Goyal to Chaudhary about 34 minutes before the fall, seized phones with deleted chats being forensically examined, and call‑detail and location data to build a timeline.
- Officers have carried out crime‑scene reconstructions and are running gait analysis and CCTV matching while tracing items such as clothing, a seized scooter and alleged remains of a burned passport.
- The state has appointed senior prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam and ordered a fast‑track trial, and police say the probe points to months of planning including a failed attempt on June 14 and rehearsals at the fort.
