Before Pune Murder, Plan Was To Break Ketan Agarwal’s Bones In Bengaluru

In Pune Fort Murder, A Third Arrest After Fiancee And Her Boyfriend

Police investigation into the murder has found that one of the three accused, Ritesh Hange, had discussed the idea with a friend in Bengaluru. The friend, however, reportedly opposed the idea. The over 5,300-page chargesheet filed in Pune Fort case has revealed that, before the murder, the plan was to take Ketan to Bengaluru and break his limbs.

Ketan was allegedly pushed into a gorge from the Lohagad Fort in Pune by his fiancee, Siya Goyal, and her lover, Chetan Chaudhary. The police have arrested the two along with Ritesh Hange. They also listened to podcasts on how to avoid detection by police as part of their preparations. The fake account was part of a plan devised by Hange to bring Agarwal to the fort. The account was deleted after the incident. Terrified, the eyewitness approached the police and recorded their statement five days after the Pune Fort murder, having seen media reports about the case.

The Pune Police have filed a 5,053-page chargesheet in the murder of Ketan Agarwal, a 25-year-old businessman.

Goyal’s lover also suggested creating a fake Instagram account named ‘Mahi’ using the photograph of a woman known to the accused. The police have recorded statements from various individuals, including an eyewitness and a nail art artist. Investigation into the case is continuing.
