A shocking Lohagad Fort case unfolds as Ketan Agarwal’s death reveals alleged betrayal, secret ties, and a disturbing investigation.

Ketan Agarwal, a 25-year-old entrepreneur from Maharashtra, died after falling into a gorge at Lohagad Fort near Pune, but what was first reported as an accident has now become a murder investigation. Police allege that his fiancée Siya Goel and her alleged lover Chetan Chaudhary planned and executed the killing, making the case one of the most shocking incidents linked to the historic hill fort.

Lohagad Fort Murder: Love Story, Hidden Relationship and Alleged Conspiracy

Investigators claim Ketan was taken to Lohagad Fort on June 18 under the pretext of a birthday outing. Police allege that Chetan followed the couple wearing a hoodie and later joined them near the gorge, where Ketan was allegedly pushed to his death. The Ketan Agarwal murder case emerged after police found suspicious evidence, including CCTV footage, call records and digital trails.

Key developments in the investigation:

  • Police allege Siya had earlier attempted to push Ketan at the same location on June 14, but he survived after holding onto a tree branch.

  • The family claims Siya convinced Ketan to return to Lohagad despite his reluctance.

  • Investigators found that Siya and Chetan exchanged 2,004 calls lasting nearly 238 hours over several months.

  • Police suspect Chetan avoided location tracking by leaving his phone at his workplace and using another device.

  • Both accused have been arrested on charges of murder and criminal conspiracy.

From Picture-Perfect Romance to Murder Allegations

Before the tragedy, Siya’s Instagram posts showed a seemingly happy relationship with Ketan. She shared engagement moments, romantic gestures, birthday countdowns and affectionate posts, including pictures of flowers, hugs and messages celebrating their bond. The couple had announced their engagement in February and planned a grand wedding later this year, with family members reportedly making major arrangements.

However, police claim the relationship had changed as investigators uncovered allegations that Siya was involved with Chetan and allegedly viewed Ketan as an obstacle. The investigation also looked into claims that earlier events, including a disrupted Bali pre-wedding trip, may have been part of a larger pattern.

Police are continuing their probe to establish the complete sequence of events and identify whether anyone else was involved.

Thus, Business Fortune is of the view that the Ketan Agarwal case highlights the need for truth, justice and accountability.
