Overview
- Ketan Vishal Agarwal fell into a deep gorge during a trek to Lohagad Fort on Thursday, June 18 and his body was recovered after a rescue operation.
- Local police initially treated the incident as an accidental fall but a parallel probe by Pune crime teams found inconsistencies that prompted a reclassification to suspected murder.
- On Tuesday, June 23 investigators detained and then arrested Agarwal’s fiancée, Siya Goyal, and her alleged lover, Chetan Babulal Chaudhary, and registered a murder and criminal‑conspiracy case under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
- Authorities say the inquiry relies on technical leads such as call records and CCTV plus witness statements and media reports that an earlier alleged attempt took place at the same site on May 31.
- Agarwal’s family has said the accused confessed after arrest; police continue forensic, phone and witness work and the case will move through the courts as investigators seek to establish the full sequence of events and any wider involvement.
