  "account": "Pune Rural Police arrested a 22-year-old man, identified as Ritesh Hange, on Saturday in connection with the murder of realtor Ketan Agarwal at Lohagad Fort in June. This marks the third arrest in the case, following the arrests of Ketan's fiancée Siya Goyal and Chetan Chaudhary, who are reportedly involved in the conspiracy. According to police, Siya and Chetan pushed Agarwal off a cliff at Lohagad fort on June 18. The 22-year-old Hange was reportedly a friend of Chetan and allegedly involved in the planning of the murder. He was informed about the execution of the murder by Chetan after it occurred, as reported by the PTI news agency. The two key accused had previously discussed injuring Agarwal to delay his marriage with Siya, but decided to kill him instead. The accused reportedly explored multiple locations before settling on Lohagad Fort for the murder, exchanging photographs of potential sites and assessing their suitability.",
