Add ARY News on Google AAResize PUNE: New details have emerged in the investigation into the alleged murder of Pune businessman Ketan Agarwal, with police claiming the killing was carried out under a carefully planned conspiracy allegedly involving his fiancée, Siya Goyal, and her alleged partner, Chetan Chaudhary, Indian media reported on Monday.
According to investigators, the two had agreed on a pre-arranged signal before the incident at Lohagad Fort on June 18. Police allege that Goyal was instructed to sit down—either pretending to tie her shoelaces or stopping to drink water—to signal Chaudhary to carry out the attack.
Investigators believe the alleged signal served a dual purpose. Besides alerting Chaudhary, police claim it was intended to ensure Goyal remained at a safe distance from Agarwal. Officials suspect the accused feared that if Agarwal attempted to grab someone while falling into the gorge, Goyal could also be pulled over the edge.
