Pune Fort Murder Case: Siya Goyal, Lover Rehearsed 'Cliff Push' Before Ketan Agarwal's Murder, Police Say

Honestly, the details that are coming out of this Pune fort murder case are chilling. It reads like a dark psychological thriller, but the fact that it’s real makes it incredibly heavy. The level of intent the police are alleging makes this a whole different story.

Investigators are building a picture of a calculated trap, not a tragic accident or something that happened in the heat of an argument. This is how the police say it all happened:

The Practice Run, Lulla Nagar

Perhaps this is the most unsettling part of the update. Siya Goyal and her alleged lover Chetan Chaudhary not only talked of eliminating her fiance Ketan Agarwal but also did a physical rehearsal, police said. Days before the murder, they were reportedly seen at a hill in Lulla Nagar to specifically practise how exactly they would push him off a cliff so that nothing would go wrong when the time came.

When they felt ready, they supposedly lured Ketan to Lohagad Fort near Pune, telling him it would be a fun couple's outing. They waited till they had him in a perfectly isolated, quiet place near the edge—and then shoved him off.

First, they were trying to make it out like a terrible accident. But when questioned by police, their stories did not match up. The “accident” cover story began to crumble under the weight of inconsistencies in what they were saying and technical evidence investigators started pulling from their phones and movements.

What Happens Now?

At present, the Pune Police are cross-checking all the forensic and digital data with them to make their case foolproof. "Premeditation" is everything in a murder trial. It means that the crime was planned out ahead of time, rather than on impulse. This rehearsal at Lulla Nagar is therefore going to form the bedrock of the prosecution's case when it comes to court.

Both are still being investigated intensely, and with police digging into their exact movements before and after that day at the fort, more details are likely to emerge soon.
