The murder case of 26-year-old businessman Ketan Agarwal in Lohagad Fort has been in the news headlines. As per the police, the two-wheeler was allegedly used by the accused, Chetan, to travel from Pune to Lohagad Fort. Several other items were recovered, which include a hoodie and headphones.

How did Ketan Agarwal allegedly die at Lohagad Fort?
The Lonavala Rural Police, investigating the alleged murder of Ketan Agrawal, suspect that the prime accused, Siya Goyal, was not ready to marry at this stage of her life and was allegedly facing pressure from her family to go ahead with the wedding. Police believe this may have been one of the factors behind the crime.
Siya Goyal, Ketan Agrawal’s fiancée, along with her friend Chetan Chaudhary, was arrested on June 23 in connection with the case. Both accused are currently in seven-day police custody until June 29 as the investigation continues.
Earlier on Saturday, Ketan Agarwal’s family members and society residents in Pimpri-Chinchwad held a candlelight march to pay tribute to him. They demanded justice for him. The Maharashtra government has come in action and approved the setting up of a fast-track court and appointed senior advocate and Rajya Sabha MP Ujjwal Nikam as the Special Public Prosecutor in the case. The decision was taken after the victim’s father met Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis in Pune and urged swift justice in the case. The Chief Minister assured the family that strict action would be taken against the accused and that the case would be fast-tracked.
