Pune Fort Murder: Police Probe Secret Marriage Angle
Investigators Verify Claims Siya Goyal Married Boyfriend Before Engagement to Victim
GG News Bureau
Pune, 7th July: Police investigating the Pune fort murder case are probing claims that Siya Goyal secretly married her boyfriend Chetan Chaudhary months before her engagement to businessman Ketan Agarwal, who was allegedly murdered at Lohagad Fort.
According to sources, investigators are verifying whether the couple registered their marriage under the Special Marriage Act about four months ago. Police are also examining whether a marriage certificate exists and questioning two of Goyal’s college friends who allegedly signed as witnesses.
Technical teams are attempting to recover deleted photographs from a private Instagram account that reportedly showed Goyal and Chaudhary wearing wedding garlands.
Investigators suspect the alleged murder conspiracy was accelerated after Agarwal’s family sought Goyal’s documents for their planned destination wedding in Udaipur. Police are also examining Chaudhary’s bank records to determine whether money was paid to bypass the mandatory public notice required for marriage registration.
Agarwal, a Pune-based realtor, died after falling from a cliff at Lohagad Fort on June 18. Police allege that Goyal and Chaudhary conspired to kill him as Goyal did not want to proceed with the arranged marriage. Both accused are currently in judicial custody.
