Ketan Agarwal Murder Case: Siya Goyal's Instagram Stories and Videos Mourning Fiancée's Death Surface
Siya Praveen Goyal and her lover, Chetan Chaudhary, were arrested by Pune Rural Police for conspiring to murder her fiancée, Ketan Agarwal, by pushing him into a gorge at Lohagad Fort. Goyal initially claimed it was an accident and posted viral Instagram tributes mourning him, but technical data placed Chaudhary at the scene.
Emotional social media posts shared by a woman mourning her deceased fiancée have gone viral following her arrest by the Pune Rural Police in connection with his murder. Siya Praveen Goyal initially told authorities that her 26-year-old fiancée, Ketan Agarwal, had accidentally plunged into a deep gorge during a trip to Lohagad Fort on June 18. Following a detailed investigation, police arrested Goyal and her alleged lover, Chetan Chaudhary, exposing a suspected murder conspiracy hidden beneath public displays of grief.
An accidental death report (ADR) was originally registered at the Lonavala Rural Police Station based entirely on Goyal's initial eyewitness account. However, forensic analysis, electronic tracking data, and family testimonies later prompted investigators to upgrade the case to first-degree murder.

Viral Tributes Posted Amid Cover-Up Allegations
In the days following Agarwal's death, Goyal uploaded a series of coordinated Instagram Stories and videos portraying him as the love of her life. The public digital memorials quickly drew widespread sympathy online before taking a dark turn post-arrest. One of her widely shared text posts read: “You left me on my birthday… You left when we were so close to getting married. I still can’t understand why you did this to me. I had dreams, and now I want answers too. Why did you leave me when I loved you so much? Rest in peace.”
Goyal also uploaded videos of the couple together, including a clip recorded on the exact day of Agarwal's death that showed him looking affectionately at her and complimenting her appearance. Another video featured the couple dancing at a hotel while a guitarist performed, overlaid with lyrics from a Shehnaaz Gill song: "Mere dil ko pata hai tu yahi hai, wapas aaja" (My heart knows you are here, come back).
Technical Evidence Exposes Suspected Conspiracy
According to Pune Rural Superintendent of Police Sandeep Singh Gill, Goyal's calculated public displays of grief directly contradicted her actions immediately following the crime. Police allege that right after the push, Goyal approached a security guard stationed at Lohagad Fort to claim her fiancée had slipped. She then filed an official statement with the police and phoned Agarwal’s grieving family to reinforce the accident narrative. The investigation shifted dramatically after Agarwal’s family expressed deep suspicion regarding the sudden death, alerting authorities to severe ongoing disputes between the couple before the trip.
Acting on these leads, cyber and technical investigators conducted a geo-fencing analysis of the mobile towers surrounding Lohagad Fort. The electronic evidence allegedly placed Chetan Chaudhary at the exact crime scene location and time of the incident, despite having no public reason to be there.

Motive Tied to Impending Marriage
Interrogations and digital tracking led police to conclude that Goyal and Chaudhary were involved in an extramarital relationship. Investigators allege that the pair jointly conspired to eliminate Agarwal because his upcoming, highly finalised wedding schedule with Goyal had become an insurmountable obstacle to their own relationship. Both suspects have been taken into police custody under formal murder charges. The Pune Rural Police are continuing their investigation to reconstruct the exact physical sequence of events at the fort edge and compile supplementary digital forensics for the forthcoming court trial.
