Siya, lover studied 'Mansi's Lohagad death', 'mushroom killing' before Ketan's murder

In a shocking murder case in Pune, realtor Ketan Agarwal was allegedly pushed to his death at Lohagad Fort in June 2025. According to the 5,053-page chargesheet filed in the Wadgaon Maval court, his fiancé Siya Goyal and her alleged lover Chetan Chaudhary were the masterminds behind the murder. The chargesheet reveals that Goyal had initially not wanted to marry Agarwal, but later conspired with Chaudhary and another individual, Ritesh Hange, to eliminate Agarwal and make it seem like an accidental fall.

The accused reportedly searched online for information about deaths, trekking incidents, and ways to cover up evidence. They searched for terms such as "Death Cap Mushroom India," "Women Kills Family by Mushroom," "Easy way to kill someone," and "How not to get manipulated." The key to their plan involved the death of Mansi Govindpurkar, a 21-year-old woman who mysteriously died in Lohagad in March 2025.

Goyal came across this case on Facebook, discussed it with Chaudhary, and decided that Agarwal could be pushed from the fort, making it appear as a tragic accident.

The chargesheet also alleges that the trio had explored other methods of eliminating Agarwal before settling on the Lohagad plan. They even attempted to arrange a contract killer, but ultimately decided to carry out the murder themselves. The digital evidence collected during the investigation has been submitted to the court as part of the chargesheet.
