The Pune murder case took a dramatic turn on Friday after police investigating the Ketan Agrawal murder case claimed that the accused and victim's fiancée, Siya, allegedly orchestrated his killing because she did not want to marry him after learning that he was bald and wore a wig.

According to investigators, Siya allegedly disliked the fact that Ketan concealed his baldness with a wig and was unwilling to proceed with the marriage.

Police further alleged that Siya developed a relationship with the prime accused, Chetan, during this period.

Investigators claim the two then conspired to eliminate Ketan, culminating in his murder.

'Didn't Want To Hurt Family'

During questioning, police asked Siya why she had never informed her family that she did not want to marry Ketan.

In response, Siya allegedly told investigators that she did not want to hurt or disappoint her family by refusing the marriage. Instead, she allegedly believed that eliminating Ketan was the easiest solution.

According to police, Siya said she thought Ketan would fall to his death during the trek and that no one would question the incident.

She also allegedly told investigators that there were no CCTV cameras in the area, so she believed the death would not arouse suspicion.

Chetan-Siya's Blame-Game

According to police sources, Chetan has claimed that it was Siya who pushed Ketan off the fort.

Siya, on the other hand, has allegedly told investigators that it was Chetan who delivered the final push.

Police sources said that while both accused have allegedly admitted to their roles in the conspiracy and the murder, each is attempting to shift responsibility for the final physical act onto the other.

No Family Visits for Siya Since Arrest, Say Police Sources

Sources in the Lonavala Rural Police said that since Siya Goyal's arrest, no one has come to meet her in custody.

According to the sources, it is common for at least one family member to visit an accused following an arrest. However, despite her parents and brother residing at her family home, none of them has visited Siya so far.

In contrast, police sources said Chetan's father visited the police station to seek an update on the investigation following his son's arrest.

Officials said the investigation is continuing from all angles, and further evidence is being gathered in the alleged conspiracy.
