Police said Siya Goyal made a secret phone call to Chetan Chaudhary shortly before she allegedly pushed her fiancé off a cliff at Lohagad Fort.
The discovery of this call provides investigators with critical digital evidence to establish whether the death of Ketan Agarwal was a premeditated plot. Because the call occurred just before the incident, authorities view it as the final coordination between the suspects.
Siya Goyal, 20 [1], is accused of killing her 25-year-old fiancé, Ketan Agarwal [1]. According to investigators, the call to Chaudhary took place 34 minutes [1] before the murder. Police said the communication was the final go-ahead for a planned murder plot [2, 4].
Digital forensics have played a central role in the probe. Investigators retrieved 2,004 calls [4] from the phones involved in the case. This data, along with deleted chats, helped police reconstruct the timeline of events leading up to the crime at the site commonly known as Pune Fort [1, 2, 3, 4].
The investigation also focused on the physical logistics of the crime. Police said the trek to the specific spot where the incident occurred takes approximately 48 minutes [4]. This timing is being compared against the phone records and CCTV footage to verify the movements of the accused.
"This is a very important piece of digital evidence in the case," police personnel said [2].
The case continues as authorities analyze the recovered communications to determine the full extent of the conspiracy between Goyal and Chaudhary [2, 3, 4].
“"This is a very important piece of digital evidence in the case."”
The recovery of deleted communications and the precise timing of the secret call shift the case from a potential crime of passion to a planned conspiracy. By linking the digital trail to the physical trek time at Lohagad Fort, prosecutors can build a timeline that suggests premeditation, which typically carries heavier legal penalties in Indian criminal law.
