Ketan Agarwal Murder: Duo Planned Slow Poison Plot

A disturbing plot has emerged in the investigation into the murder of Pune realtor Ketan Agarwal, allegedly involving his fiancée Siya Goyal and her lover Chetan Chaudhary. According to police sources, the duo had been planning the murder for several months and had even explored the possibility of using slow poison to kill Agarwal.

The investigation has revealed that Goyal and Chaudhary allegedly searched for a contract killer to execute the murder. They reportedly met a suspected contract killer who initially agreed to carry out the killing, but later backed out after learning more about Agarwal's identity and his family's background in Pune.

The Vadgaon Maval court has extended the judicial custody of Goyal and Chaudhary by another 14 days. Both accused appeared before the court through video conferencing from prison. The court has also partially allowed an application filed by Chaudhary's counsel seeking the preservation and production of CCTV footage from the entry, exit, and lobby areas of the Pune Rural Superintendent of Police's office.

Goyal and Chaudhary are accused of pushing Agarwal off a cliff at Lohagad Fort in Pune district on June 18 during a trek, leading to his death. The duo is currently lodged in Yerawada Central Jail under judicial custody. The investigation has revealed that Chaudhary was brought to the SP's office nearly 12 hours before the FIR in the Ketan Agarwal murder case was formally registered.

The case has sent shockwaves in Pune, with many questioning how such a heinous crime could be planned and executed. The police are still investigating the case and are looking into all possible angles. The extension of judicial custody of the accused and the preservation of CCTV footage are significant developments in the case.

The case is being closely watched by the people of Pune, who are eager to see justice served.

The incident has also sparked a debate about the need for stricter laws and punishments for such heinous crimes. The government and the police are under pressure to ensure that such crimes are prevented and that those responsible are brought to justice.

In conclusion, the murder of Ketan Agarwal is a shocking and disturbing case that has sent shockwaves in Pune.
