Shocking Revelation: Siya took Rs 1 crore from Ketan for wedding shopping, gave it to Chetan: Reports

June 29, 2026

Pune: Fresh revelations have surfaced in the investigation into the murder of 26-year-old Pune-based realtor Ketan Agarwal. In a Major update in the Ketan Agarwal murder case, police sources are alleging that his fiancée, Siya Goyal, took nearly Rs 1 crore from him in the name of wedding preparations before transferring the money to her alleged lover, Chetan Chaudhary.

According to investigators, Goyal, 20, and Chaudhary, 22, had meticulously planned the murder well in advance and allegedly charted out a long-term strategy to avoid suspicion after the crime. The two were arrested for allegedly conspiring to kill Agarwal by pushing him off a cliff at Lohagad Fort on June 18. According to a report, police sources claim that Goyal had sought around Rs 1 crore from Agarwal, claiming it was required for wedding shopping and other marriage-related expenses.

Money transferred to Chetan Chaudhary 

Instead of using the money for the wedding, she allegedly handed the entire amount to Chaudhary to help him establish his career and improve his financial condition. Investigators believe the transfer of funds formed a crucial part of the alleged conspiracy. Since Chaudhary came from a modest financial background, he reportedly told Goyal he would need about 3 years to become financially secure.

Marriage after 3 years 

The two allegedly agreed that after Agarwal’s death, Goyal would remain unmarried for that period to avoid attracting suspicion. Once Chaudhary was financially stable and public attention surrounding the case had subsided, they allegedly planned to marry. Police suspect the delayed marriage was intended to make the relationship appear unrelated to the crime and eventually gain acceptance from Goyal’s family. The investigation has also uncovered details about how the alleged murder was executed.

Pre-decided signals before attack 

Officials said Goyal and Chaudhary had agreed on a pre-decided signal before carrying out the attack. According to investigators, Goyal was instructed to sit down, either on the pretext of drinking water or tying her shoelaces. This action would indicate to Chaudhary that the opportunity had arrived to push Agarwal off the cliff. Police believe the signal served a dual purpose. Besides alerting Chaudhary, it also ensured that Goyal was positioned at a safe distance from Agarwal, reducing the risk of Agarwal grabbing her as she fell.

Call details of Chetan and Sia 

Call Detail Records (CDRs) have further strengthened the investigators’ case. Sources said Goyal allegedly spoke to Chaudhary approximately 34 minutes before the incident. Police suspect the conversation was the final confirmation before the alleged murder was carried out. Investigators have also claimed that the conspiracy had been finalised by the end of May and that an earlier attempt to kill Agarwal was allegedly made on June 14. During that incident, Agarwal reportedly managed to save himself by holding onto nearby bushes after being pushed. Sources alleged that Goyal later claimed the incident was accidental, saying she had pushed him after being startled by a snake.
