Fresh details have emerged in the ongoing investigation into the death of Pune-based realtor Ketan Agarwal, a case that has attracted significant public attention following allegations involving his fiancée Siya Goyal and co-accused Chetan Chaudhary.
According to information presented by investigators and cited in multiple media reports, police are examining several new pieces of evidence, including witness statements, digital activity and photographs allegedly linked to the accused.
It is important to note that the allegations remain under investigation, and the accused have not been convicted in court.
Police Investigating Alleged Contact With Contract Killer
According to investigators, Siya Goyal and Chetan Chaudhary allegedly attempted to contact an individual believed to be a contract killer before Ketan Agarwal’s death.
Police claim that the individual was approached during a meeting at a hotel in Pune. Investigators have reportedly recovered CCTV footage from the location as part of the ongoing inquiry.
As per police sources cited in reports, the individual allegedly declined the assignment. Authorities believe the person’s statement could become a significant piece of evidence in the case and may help establish a clearer timeline of events.
Investigators are expected to further verify details surrounding the alleged meeting and the communications between the parties involved.
Digital Evidence Under Examination
Another aspect of the investigation involves the analysis of digital devices and browsing histories.
According to police findings referenced in reports, investigators discovered links to videos allegedly viewed by the accused before their arrest. Authorities claim the content included discussions related to remaining calm during police questioning, managing body language and responding during interrogations.
Law enforcement officials are examining whether the digital activity has any evidentiary value in the broader investigation. Forensic analysis of electronic devices remains ongoing.
Background of the Case
Police allege that on June 18, Ketan Agarwal was pushed into a deep gorge at Lohagad Fort in Maharashtra, resulting in his death.
Investigators have accused Siya Goyal and Chetan Chaudhary of involvement in the incident. Both individuals are currently in judicial custody while the investigation continues.
The case has generated widespread interest due to the nature of the allegations and the relationship between the individuals involved.
Authorities Verify Alleged Marriage Claim
Investigators are also examining reports that Siya Goyal and Chetan Chaudhary may have secretly married before the incident.
According to police sources, two photographs allegedly showing a marriage ceremony have been recovered. Authorities are currently verifying the authenticity of the images.
Reports indicate that investigators are exploring claims that the ceremony may have taken place at the Khatu Shyam Temple in Rajasthan during 2025.
As part of the verification process, a team from Pune Rural Police reportedly visited the temple and sought access to available CCTV footage and related records.
Officials have not yet confirmed whether the marriage claim has been substantiated.
Judicial Custody Extended
In the latest legal development, a court has extended the judicial custody of Siya Goyal and Chetan Chaudhary by an additional 14 days.
The extension allows investigators more time to examine evidence, verify witness statements and complete pending forensic and documentary analysis.
Authorities have stated that multiple aspects of the case remain under active investigation.
Investigation Continues
The Ketan Agarwal case remains one of the closely watched criminal investigations in Maharashtra. Police continue to collect evidence, verify digital records and examine witness testimonies to establish the full sequence of events.
As legal proceedings move forward, further findings are expected to emerge through court filings and official investigative updates. Any determination of guilt or innocence will ultimately be decided through the judicial process based on the evidence presented before the court.
