A security guard at Lohagad Fort reported that Siya Goyal told him someone had fallen after Ketan Agarwal died at the site [1].

The case highlights a violent escalation of a relationship dispute that police now treat as a premeditated murder involving Goyal and her lover, Chetan Chaudhary [1, 2].

Ketan Agarwal, a 26-year-old real-estate executive, died on June 18, 2024 [1, 3]. The incident occurred at Lohagad Fort near Pune, Maharashtra [1, 2]. An unnamed security guard said he came running after hearing screams and asked Goyal what had happened [1]. According to the guard, Goyal said, “yaha se koi gir gaya hai,” which translates to “someone has fallen off the fort” [1].

Investigators said the killing was planned by Goyal and Chaudhary following a dispute over their relationship [2]. A source said Goyal told investigators she did not want to marry Agarwal, but he was not ready to call off the wedding [4].

Digital evidence suggests a close connection between Goyal and Chaudhary. Police records show 2,004 phone calls between the two [1]. The total duration of these calls was approximately 238 hours [1].

The case has caused significant distress for the family of the accused. Praveen Goyal, the father of Siya Goyal, spoke about the gravity of the allegations [2]. He said that if his daughter is found guilty, she should be pushed from the same fort where Agarwal fell [2].

Police continue to investigate the coordination between Goyal and Chaudhary to determine the exact sequence of events that led to the fall [1, 2].

““yaha se koi gir gaya hai” (someone has fallen off the fort)”

The investigation into the death of Ketan Agarwal focuses on the intersection of digital footprints and eyewitness testimony. The high volume of communication between Siya Goyal and Chetan Chaudhary provides investigators with a timeline to determine if the fall was accidental or a coordinated execution based on the victim's refusal to end an engagement.
