Fresh findings in the investigation into the murder of Pune-based realtor Ketan Agarwal have revealed that he had begun suspecting his fiancée, Siya Goyal, of being involved with another man just days before his death. Police said he had also questioned his family about whether a proper background check had been conducted before their marriage was finalised.
Investigators said Ketan had repeatedly expressed concern over Siya’s closeness to Chetan Chaudhary, who is alleged to have been her lover and is a co-accused in the murder case.
According to police, Ketan’s father, Vishal Agarwal, told investigators that his son had frequently voiced concerns about Siya’s behaviour and her repeated references to Chetan during their conversations.
As per PTI, Ketan’s concerns first surfaced after a planned pre-wedding trip to Bali, Indonesia, was cancelled on June 6. He reportedly told his father that Siya had started picking arguments over minor issues. Vishal Agarwal reassured his son, saying she was young and that the family would speak to her.
Police said Ketan also informed his family that Siya’s phone was often busy whenever he tried to call her and that she frequently mentioned Chetan Chaudhary during their conversations. He told them he believed she might be in a relationship with someone else.
Despite these concerns, Ketan’s family reportedly assured him that there was no immediate reason to worry, as the Goyal family was known to them through relatives.
“After the Bali trip got cancelled on June 6, Ketan approached his father and complained about Siya picking up fights over small issues. His father told him that, as she was young, she might have been behaving in that manner and assured him that they would counsel her,” a police official said.
The official further said that after returning from Lohagad Fort on June 14, Ketan once again asked his father whether the family had carried out a thorough background check before fixing the marriage.
“Ketan told his father that Siya’s phone was often busy whenever he called her and that she frequently mentioned Chaudhary during their conversations,” the official said.
Ketan Agarwal, a Pune-based realtor, was allegedly pushed to his death from a cliff at Lohagad Fort on June 18 by Siya Goyal (20) and her alleged lover, Chetan Chaudhary (22). The couple had been scheduled to marry in November this year. Both accused have been arrested and remanded to police custody until July 3.
