The Pune Lohagad Fort murder case continues to reveal disturbing details with every passing day. What initially appeared to be a tragic trekking accident has now turned into one of the country’s most shocking murder investigations. The death of 26-year-old businessman Ketan Agarwal has already sparked nationwide discussions after police alleged that his fiancée, Siya Goyal, and her alleged lover, Chetan Chaudhary, conspired to kill him just months before their lavish wedding.
Now, another revelation from the investigation has left people stunned. According to police, Siya Goyal allegedly made a chilling confession during questioning, saying that killing Ketan seemed easier than telling her family that she did not want to marry him. The alleged statement has become one of the most talked-about aspects of the case and has intensified public interest in the investigation.
As investigators continue piecing together the events leading up to Ketan’s death, new details suggest that the alleged conspiracy had been in the making for months before it was finally executed at Lohagad Fort near Pune.

On the surface, everything appeared to be going according to plan. Ketan Agarwal, the son of a prominent Maharashtra businessman, got engaged to Siya Goyal in February this year. Both families were busy preparing for a grand wedding scheduled for November. Reports suggest that luxury palaces had been booked for the celebrations, while private jets were expected to fly guests to the wedding venue.
However, investigators now allege that behind the wedding preparations, Siya had already developed a relationship with 22-year-old Chetan Chaudhary. The two reportedly met during a business meeting in late 2025. While Siya owned a bakery, Chetan operated a dry fruit business. Their friendship allegedly grew into a relationship even as wedding preparations with Ketan continued.
Police believe the relationship eventually led the pair to view Ketan as an obstacle, resulting in an alleged conspiracy that would later shock the entire country.
The Chilling Confession

According to investigators, Siya Goyal made a startling statement during police interrogation. She allegedly admitted that she found it “easier to kill than telling family” that she no longer wanted to marry Ketan. Investigators believe the alleged confession offers a glimpse into the motive behind the crime and explains why she continued participating in wedding preparations despite reportedly wanting to end the relationship.
Police claim that instead of informing her family about her decision or calling off the marriage, Siya allegedly chose a far more sinister path. The alleged confession has shocked both investigators and the public, with many questioning how a relationship that appeared perfectly normal from the outside could allegedly hide such disturbing intentions.
It has also sparked wider conversations about communication, family pressure, and the tragic consequences that can arise when problems are handled in the worst possible way.

Investigators believe Ketan’s death was not the result of a sudden argument but a carefully planned conspiracy. According to police, Siya allegedly lured Ketan to Lohagad Fort under the pretext of a casual outing. Chetan Chaudhary reportedly reached the location separately so that the meeting would not appear suspicious.
Police further allege that once they reached a secluded area of the fort, the two pushed Ketan into a deep gorge from behind, causing fatal injuries. The investigation has also revealed that this was allegedly not their first attempt.
According to police, four days before the murder, Siya allegedly tried pushing Ketan off the same fort. However, he reportedly survived after grabbing onto a bush growing along the cliff. Investigators claim she then distracted him by shouting about a snake before hugging him to avoid raising suspicion. Case records also suggest that multiple backup plans had been prepared if the earlier attempts failed.
The Evidence That Changed The Investigation

Initially, Ketan’s death was believed to be a tragic trekking accident. However, investigators soon noticed several inconsistencies. One of the biggest breakthroughs came through CCTV footage recorded near Lohagad Fort. Police noticed a man wearing a hoodie despite temperatures reaching nearly 33 degrees Celsius. The individual was later identified as Chetan Chaudhary.
Another CCTV clip reportedly showed Siya looking back towards the hooded man before he suddenly changed his behaviour. Investigators considered this movement suspicious and began examining the connection between the two.
Further investigation reportedly uncovered phone records showing that Siya and Chetan had exchanged more than 2,000 calls over seven months, spending nearly 238 hours speaking to each other. Police believe the combination of CCTV footage, technical analysis, call records, witness statements, and digital evidence gradually dismantled the accident theory and pointed towards an alleged murder conspiracy.
Similarities With The Raja Raghuvanshi Case
The Pune Lohagad Fort murder case has inevitably drawn comparisons with the Raja Raghuvanshi murder case that captured national attention earlier this year. In that case, Raja Raghuvanshi was found dead during his honeymoon in Meghalaya, and investigators later alleged that his wife, Sonam Raghuvanshi, had conspired with her alleged lover to eliminate him.
The similarities between the two cases have become a major talking point on social media, with both investigations involving young couples preparing for a new phase of life before ending in shocking allegations of betrayal and murder. While both cases are different in their circumstances and continue through the legal process, the parallel has left many people stunned.
Family Left Heartbroken
For Ketan Agarwal’s family, every new revelation has only deepened their grief. Instead of celebrating what was expected to be a lavish wedding later this year, they are now seeking justice for their son. Family members have repeatedly questioned why the marriage could not simply have been called off if Siya did not wish to continue the relationship.
The alleged confession has made that question even more painful. Investigators continue gathering evidence while both Siya Goyal and Chetan Chaudhary remain in police custody. The legal proceedings are expected to determine the truth behind the allegations in the months ahead.
Conclusion
The Pune Lohagad Fort murder case continues to unfold with shocking revelations that have captivated the nation. From an engagement celebrated by two families to allegations of a carefully planned murder, every stage of the investigation has revealed disturbing new details.
The alleged confession that it was “easier to kill than telling family” has become one of the most chilling aspects of the case. Combined with CCTV footage, phone records, and the alleged failed murder attempt days earlier, investigators believe they have uncovered a conspiracy that had been planned long before Ketan’s death.
While the investigation is still ongoing and the allegations will ultimately be examined in court, the case has already become one of the most talked-about criminal investigations of the year, raising difficult questions about trust, relationships, and the devastating consequences of hidden intentions.
