Siya Goyal said during a crime-scene recreation that her lover, Chetan Chaudhary, pushed Ketan Agarwal off a cliff at Lohagad Fort [1].
This development shifts the focus of the investigation into the death of Agarwal, as Goyal had previously been the primary suspect in the killing. The new testimony suggests a conspiracy between Goyal and Chaudhary, potentially altering the legal charges filed against both individuals.
The incident occurred at Lohagad Fort in Pune, Maharashtra [2]. During the recreation of the events, Goyal said that Chaudhary was the one who physically pushed Agarwal from the cliff edge [1]. This account contradicts other reports regarding the exact nature of the crime and the roles played by the accused parties [3].
Police are now examining the relationship between Goyal and Chaudhary to determine the exact sequence of events. Some reports indicate that Chaudhary may have pushed Goyal to kill her fiancé, while others suggest he performed the act himself [3]. The investigation is also looking into the motive behind the crime, which remains a point of contradiction in available reports.
One report indicates Goyal confessed to the killing because Agarwal wore a wig, and she did not want to marry him [3]. However, other police details suggest a more complex arrangement, noting that Goyal used a "sitting down" signal that had two different meanings during the lead-up to the death [2].
Investigators continue to reconcile these conflicting narratives. The discrepancy between whether Goyal acted alone, was coerced, or acted in concert with Chaudhary is the central focus of the current inquiry [1].
“Chetan pushed him, I didn't”
The shifting testimony during the crime-scene recreation indicates a volatile investigation where the primary suspect is now implicating an accomplice. Because the reports conflict on whether the act was a solo crime based on personal distaste or a coordinated effort by a third party, the prosecution must now establish a definitive timeline and motive to avoid reasonable doubt in court.
