Mumbai, June 23: The tragic death of 24-year-old Ketan Agarwal, a businessman from Pune, has taken a shocking turn. Initially deemed an accident during a trekking trip in Lohagad, police investigations have now raised suspicions of murder. Based on CCTV footage, call detail records, and technical analysis, authorities have registered a murder case.
According to Superintendent of Police (Pune Rural) Sandeep Singh Gill, Ketan and his fiancée, Siya Goyal, who got engaged in February, visited Lohagad Fort on June 18. Around 10:30 or 10:45 AM, Siya called to report that Ketan had slipped and fallen to his death.
Upon receiving the information, security guards, police, and family members rushed to the scene, and a case was filed at the police station the same day. However, subsequent investigations revealed inconsistencies that cast doubt on the initial narrative.
Conversations with relatives and friends indicated that such an incident was unlikely, especially for someone like Ketan, who was an experienced trekker. The police noted that he had extensive trekking experience, which further fueled suspicions surrounding the case.
Further inquiries led to the discovery of Siya’s friend, Chetan Chaudhary. The police revealed that both Siya and Chetan had known each other for several years, and they allegedly conspired to murder Ketan. It is believed that they pushed Ketan off Lohagad Fort, resulting in his fatal fall.
Following this revelation, police have arrested Siya and Chetan, both of whom have confessed to their involvement during questioning. The investigation is ongoing.
