Two suspects in the murder of Ketan Agarwal are blaming each other for the killing during police interrogations [1, 2].
The conflicting statements complicate the effort to determine who masterminded the premeditated crime. Because both suspects are now shifting blame, investigators must rely on objective evidence to establish the specific role each person played in the death [1, 2].
Siya Goyal and Chetan Chaudhary were accused in the killing, which occurred at Lohagad Fort near Pune, Maharashtra [1, 3]. According to investigators, the two individuals have turned on one another as the probe continues [2]. Each accused person said the other was the primary mastermind behind the act [2, 3].
Police are reviewing a combination of statements, electronic data, and forensic evidence to resolve the contradictions in the suspects' accounts [1, 2]. The investigation focuses on establishing the sequence of events and the level of coordination between Goyal and Chaudhary [1].
Authorities have not yet released a final determination regarding who led the conspiracy. The case remains an active investigation as Maharashtra police work to verify the electronic trails and forensic findings from the site at Lohagad Fort [1, 2].

The tendency of co-accused suspects to shift blame is a common hurdle in criminal investigations. In this case, the reliance on forensic and electronic evidence is critical because it provides an objective timeline that can either validate or refute the conflicting testimonies of Goyal and Chaudhary.
