Police Allege Fiancée, Her Lover Pushed Ketan From Fort
Police have alleged that Siya Goyal and Chetan Babulal Chaudhary pushed 26-year-old Ketan Agarwal from Lohagad Fort in Maharashtra’s Sahyadri range, resulting in his death.
The incident was initially reported as an accidental fall during a trek.
Both have been charged with murder and criminal conspiracy.
According to police, Siya met Chetan at a café in Pune on the morning of June 18, hours before the incident. Investigators allege they discussed the killing and identified locations at Lohagad Fort from where Ketan could be pushed.
In the afternoon, Siya took Ketan to the fort for what was presented as a trek of three to four hours, while Chetan followed separately, police said.
CCTV footage from the café shows Siya and Chetan seated together and in discussion. Police allege the two later pushed Ketan from behind into a gorge.
Siya subsequently told Ketan’s family that he had slipped during the trek.
Police Examine Earlier Visits To Lohagad Fort
Police said Siya had made several attempts to take Ketan to Lohagad Fort, which is about 3,300 feet above sea level.
The couple visited the fort on May 31. Four days later, on June 4, Siya pressed for another visit, but Ketan’s mother did not permit it, police said.
On June 14, Siya persuaded Ketan to return to the fort. During that visit, police allege she tried to push him from a cliff.
Ketan held on to a bush. When he asked why she had pushed him, Siya claimed there had been a snake and that she was trying to protect him.

2,004 Calls Over Nearly 238 Hours
Phone records showed that Siya and Chetan exchanged 2,004 calls over the past six to seven months, amounting to nearly 238 hours of conversation, police said.
Some calls lasted between two and three hours.
Police said the two first met at a Diwali party in 2025.
Engagement, Udaipur Wedding Plans And Alleged Motive

The investigation is continuing.
