The Pune Lohagad Fort murder case continues to take unexpected turns as investigators uncover new details surrounding the death of businessman Ketan Agarwal. What initially appeared to be a tragic trekking accident has now evolved into one of the country’s most closely followed murder investigations. With every passing day, fresh revelations are raising new questions about what those close to the accused may have known before the crime.
The latest twist involves Siya Goyal’s brother, Sahil Goyal. While he has not been named as an accused, police are now examining whether he had prior knowledge of Siya’s relationship with Chetan Chaudhary and whether he deliberately chose not to inform either family. His statements, along with testimonies from witnesses and investigators’ findings, have now placed him under the police scanner.
As investigators continue piecing together the timeline, Sahil’s role has become an important part of understanding whether the alleged murder was the result of a long-planned conspiracy.
Why Sahil Goyal Is Under Police Scanner
According to sources, police are investigating whether Sahil Goyal knew about the relationship between his sister Siya Goyal and Chetan Chaudhary long before Ketan Agarwal’s death. Investigators are trying to determine whether he simply remained silent or whether he had any prior knowledge of the alleged conspiracy.
Although Sahil has not been named as an accused, he was reportedly questioned by police for more than ten hours, and his statement has been officially recorded. Investigators are now comparing his version of events with digital evidence, witness testimonies, and other findings collected during the investigation.
The outcome of this verification could play an important role in determining whether Sahil was merely aware of the relationship or whether he knew more than he has admitted.

Breaking his silence, Sahil Goyal maintained that Siya had repeatedly assured him she wanted to marry Ketan Agarwal and had no intention of continuing her friendship with Chetan. According to Sahil, “Siya told me that she wanted to spend her life with Ketan and didn’t want anything to do with Chetan. She assured me that there was nothing between them.”
He further explained why he never informed their parents about Siya’s friendship with Chetan. “She swore on her life that she would only marry Ketan and have no contact with Chetan. So, I did not tell anyone about Siya and Chetan,” he said.
Sahil claimed he believed the two were simply friends and saw no reason to raise concerns within the family. He insisted that based on Siya’s assurances, he believed she had chosen to move forward with her engagement to Ketan.
Police Suspect He Knew More
A fresh development has emerged in the investigation into the alleged murder of Pune businessman Ketan Agarwal, with police sources claiming that prime accused Siya Goyal requested beer and home-cooked food while in police custody.

Investigators, however, are examining a different possibility. According to police sources, the investigation has revealed that Siya allegedly did not want to marry Ketan and had communicated this to Sahil before the incident. Investigators are also probing whether he knew the relationship between Siya and Chetan was more serious than he has acknowledged.
Police are now attempting to establish whether Sahil remained silent despite knowing about developments that could have affected the marriage. At this stage, investigators have not accused him of any wrongdoing. Instead, they are carefully verifying whether his statements match the evidence gathered so far. His testimony is now considered an important piece of the investigation as officers continue reconstructing the events leading up to Ketan’s death.
Wedding Preparations Continued As Planned
Despite the questions surrounding the relationship, Sahil insists Siya was actively preparing for her wedding with Ketan. According to him, she spent considerable time planning their pre-wedding photoshoot and discussing locations, songs, and other arrangements with Ketan over video calls. Sahil also claimed that Siya herself appeared confused about her friendship with Chetan.
“She told me they were friends and that she enjoyed his company. She was confused about the nature of the relationship. I tried to explain to her that sometimes people confuse friendship for love, but it’s okay. It happens at a young age. I did not tell anyone about it as she herself was not sure. And she told me she wanted to move ahead with Ketan.” His version suggests that he believed the matter had already been resolved before the wedding.
Driver’s Testimony Adds Another Twist
The investigation took another turn after the statement of the driver who was scheduled to take Siya and Ketan to the airport for their planned pre-wedding photoshoot in Bali. According to the driver’s testimony, when Siya allegedly refused to leave for the airport, it was Sahil who persuaded or forced her to get into the vehicle.
Investigators are also examining what Sahil knew after Ketan’s passport was allegedly damaged before the Bali trip, an incident that had already raised suspicions during the investigation. Police are now corroborating the driver’s statement with Sahil’s version of events as they attempt to determine whether these incidents form part of a larger sequence leading to the alleged murder.
Siya’s Parents Defend Their Daughter
While the investigation continues, Siya’s parents have maintained that they never believed their daughter shared a romantic relationship with Chetan. Her mother, Pooja Goyal, said she never noticed Siya avoiding Ketan after their engagement and insisted there were no visible signs that suggested she wanted to end the relationship. She also dismissed reports claiming Siya frequently partied or drank alcohol, calling them baseless rumours.
Her father, Pravin Goyal, said he and his wife fully cooperated with investigators during lengthy questioning. He added that had he known Chetan was romantically involved with Siya, he would have acted immediately. At the same time, Pooja Goyal made one of the strongest statements since the investigation began. “I want to tell everyone, if my daughter is guilty, fasttrack this case as soon as possible and hang her.” The statement reflects the emotional turmoil the family continues to face as the investigation progresses.
The Investigation Continues
Police believe Ketan Agarwal was allegedly murdered at Lohagad Fort on June 18 after being pushed into a gorge. According to the FIR filed by Ketan’s father, Vishal Agarwal, Siya Goyal and Chetan Chaudhary were responsible for his son’s death.
Investigators continue analysing witness statements, CCTV footage, digital evidence, phone records, and testimonies from family members to establish the complete sequence of events. Whether Sahil Goyal merely remained silent or possessed knowledge that could have prevented the tragedy remains one of the biggest unanswered questions in the case.
Conclusion
The Pune Lohagad Fort murder case continues to grow more complex as investigators examine the role of everyone connected to the accused. While Sahil Goyal has not been named as an accused, his knowledge of Siya and Chetan’s friendship has now become an important aspect of the investigation.
His explanation differs from what investigators currently suspect, making his testimony crucial as police attempt to determine whether this was simply a family misunderstanding or part of a much larger conspiracy. As the investigation moves forward, the courts will ultimately determine the truth behind the allegations. Until then, every new revelation continues to add another layer to one of the country’s most shocking criminal investigations.
