Did Siya marry lover Chetan Chaudhary before scheduled marriage with Ketan Agarwal?
Detectives are now actively tracking down an official marriage certificate, as verifying this secret union provides a critical motive for the alleged crime. Investigators allege that Goyal was entirely unwilling to go ahead with the family-arranged marriage to Agarwal, which was scheduled for November. If the legal documents exist, it could completely alter the trajectory of the ongoing homicide investigation, firmly establishing the link between the hidden marriage and the tragic events at Lohagad Fort.
As per the report, two of Goyal’s college friends, who allegedly signed as witnesses during the marriage registration, are also being questioned as part of the probe. Investigators are also attempting to retrieve deleted photographs from a private Instagram account, which reportedly showed Goyal and Chaudhary wearing wedding garlands, as these images could provide additional evidence.
Police suspect the alleged conspiracy gathered pace after Agarwal’s family sought Goyal’s documents to complete arrangements for their planned destination wedding in Udaipur. Authorities are also examining Chaudhary’s bank transactions to determine whether any payments were made to bypass the mandatory public notice period required under the Special Marriage Act. Both Goyal and Chaudhary remain in judicial custody. According to investigators, Agarwal had met Goyal through a family-arranged match, and the couple became engaged earlier this year.
Police allege that Chaudhary followed Goyal and Agarwal to Lohagad Fort on the day of the incident as part of the alleged murder conspiracy. According to the purported findings of the ongoing investigation, police have uncovered alleged online searches, deleted messages and evidence suggesting detailed planning in the days leading up to Agarwal’s death.
