‘Others Were Distressed, Siya Appeared Calm’

Gaikwad also recalled the atmosphere at the scene, claiming that while family members and onlookers were visibly distressed, Ketan’s fiancée Siya Goyal, who has been arrested along with alleged lover Chetan Chaudhary for killing Ketan Agarwal, appeared unusually composed during the recovery operation.

“Notably, Siya was present during the retrieval but appeared calm and not overtly emotional, unlike the other onlookers who were loudly distressed,” he alleged.

According to Gaikwad, the police received the emergency call at around 10.30 am, the retrieval operation continued until 12.30 pm, and the body was shifted to the ambulance by about 1.30 pm.

Police allege that Agarwal’s death was not an accident but the result of a planned conspiracy involving his fiancée, Siya Goyal, and her alleged partner, Chetan Chaudhary. Investigators claim the two plotted to push Agarwal off a cliff at Lohagad Fort on June 18.

Chats Deleted Before And After Crime

As the investigation progresses, police have uncovered what they describe as another significant lead. Investigators claim both accused deleted their chat history, including messages stored in their phones’ recycle bins, before and after the alleged murder.

According to police, forensic analysis indicates that Siya and Chetan had remained in regular contact for months, exchanging more than 2,000 phone calls before the incident.

Investigators further allege that the duo met at a café on the day of the incident to finalise the plan and identify the exact location at Lohagad Fort where the alleged murder would be carried out.

Meanwhile, Siya’s brother, Sahil, who introduced her to Chetan, has also been questioned. Police said he told investigators that he was aware of their relationship for several months and had advised his sister to end it as she was engaged to Ketan Agarwal.

The investigation is ongoing, and police are continuing to gather forensic and digital evidence before filing the charge sheet.
