Police Allege Fiancée and Partner Premeditated Lohagad Fort Killing

Investigators say they are reconstructing a weeks‑long conspiracy using eyewitness statements, CCTV footage and forensic analysis of phones to corroborate the case.

Overview

  • Police say 26‑year‑old Ketan Agarwal was pushed from Lohagad Fort on June 18 in an act they now treat as an alleged premeditated murder rather than an accident.
  • Investigators allege the plot began as a plan to injure Agarwal to cancel a Bali trip and the wedding and later escalated to murder as the pair rehearsed and refined their method.
  • Officers report the accused scouted multiple high‑altitude sites including Tiger Point and Visapur before choosing Lohagad and that an earlier June 14 attempt allegedly failed when the victim survived.
  • Siya Goyal and Chetan Chaudhary were arrested on June 23 and remain in judicial custody at Yerawada Central Jail while the probe shifts from on‑ground work to digital corroboration.
  • Police say they have recorded multiple eyewitness statements, recovered CCTV and mobile/internet records, sent the accuseds' phones for forensic examination, and are probing deleted chats as part of the ongoing investigation.
