Police have arrested Siya Goyal on suspicion of involvement in the death of her fiancé, Ketan Agarwal, who fell into a gorge [1].
The case has drawn significant attention due to allegations that the death was not an accident but a coordinated murder plot involving a third party. The victim's family is now calling for the harshest possible legal penalties for those involved.
Ketan Agarwal, 26 [2], died after falling into a gorge during a hike intended to celebrate his birthday [3]. While the initial circumstances appeared accidental, his mother, Rakhi Agarwal, alleges that the fall was the result of a conspiracy between Goyal and her boyfriend, Chetan Babulal Chaudhary [4].
Rakhi Agarwal said her son was taken from her by Goyal and the other man. "My son is gone because of Siya and her boyfriend," she said. "I treated her like my own daughter… but she took my son away" [5].
Reports indicate the motive for the alleged crime was Goyal's desire to be with Chaudhary, leading the pair to conspire to eliminate Agarwal [4]. One person has been arrested in connection with the case so far [1].
"Siya Goyal has been arrested on suspicion of involvement in Ketan Agarwal's death," a police spokesperson said [1].
Rakhi Agarwal continues to seek justice for her son's death. "I demand the harshest punishment for the accused," she said [1].
“"My son is gone because of Siya and her boyfriend."”
This case highlights the transition of a suspected accidental death into a criminal homicide investigation. The shift depends largely on familial testimony and the identification of a romantic motive, moving the legal focus from a hiking mishap to a premeditated conspiracy.
