Pune businessman Ketan Agarwal’s fiancée Siya Goyal exchanged over 4,400 calls with her lover Chetan Chaudhary, in the past six months. A potential dream wedding took a deadly turn when 26-year-old Ketan was allegedly pushed into a gorge by the Lohagarh Fort by Siya (20) and Chetan (22). The duo has now been arrested.
What was even more shocking was the fact that the couple appeared to be happy in videos shot before the alleged crime. The videos show Ketan and Siya celebrating and dancing.
The two got engaged in February and were to have a destination wedding in Udaipur, Rajasthan, later this year. The lavish wedding was planned at a palace, and the family had even booked two special flights for guests.
Now, as more details of the crime are emerging, the case is getting murkier.
Here’s what the police probe has revealed so far:
# 4,400 calls: Chetan and Siya spent hundreds of hours on the phone over 4,400 calls, planning the murder. On June 18, Siya pushed Ketan off the cliff in Lohagad. The police believe these extensive interactions were a part of the plan to execute the fatal push to Ketan, news agency PTI reported.
# Secret meeting on birthday: On the day of the murder, Siya allegedly met Chetan at a cafe and discussed their plan to kill Agarwal, PTI reported. They even spent some time deliberating over a suitable spot at the fort from where Ketan could be pushed, the police said.
# Birthday surprises: Video clips have resurfaced online that show Ketan had planned a slew of surprises and gifts on Siya’s birthday. The videos have now gone viral.
# Missing passport: According to the police, Siya had earlier sabotaged their trip to Bali, where their pre-wedding photoshoot was scheduled, by dumping Ketan’s passport in a dustbin at a food plaza on their way to the Mumbai airport. They were supposed to take a flight from Mumbai to Bali. However, after his passport went missing, Ketan had to cancel his trip.
# Previous visits to Lohagad Fort: Upon speaking with Ketan’s sister, Sanjana, and other members of the Agarwal family, the police found out that Goyal had repeatedly persuaded Agarwal to travel to Lohagad Fort multiple times. On those occasions, too, Chetan shadowed them.
# Inconsistencies in Siya’s statements: Siya first said Ketan slipped and fell off the cliff when they were taking photos. But later, she said that Ketan slipped and fell while handing her a bottle of water. Moreover, the spot is not easily visible, raising suspicions further.
