Pune police investigating the murder of local realtor Ketan Agarwal have found "uncanny similarities" between the case and the high-profile murder of Sonam Raghuvanshi's husband Raja Raghuvanshi in Meghalaya in 2025. The accused in the Ketan Agarwal case, Siya Goyal and Chetan Chaudhary, allegedly pushed the victim into a gorge at Lohagad Fort on June 18.
Similarities Between the Two Murder Cases
According to police officials, both cases involve victims being pushed from cliffs as part of murder plans hatched by their partners. Investigators believe that Siya Goyal and Chetan Chaudhary may have studied the Sonam Raghuvanshi case before committing the crime, and made changes to their plan to avoid detection.
Evidence supporting this theory includes browsing history on a mobile phone seized from Siya Goyal, which showed she had accessed news reports about the Meghalaya murder case. Investigators also found online searches related to the treatment of female prisoners and their legal rights.
Investigation Reveals Complex Motives
Police say the investigation involved examining multiple layers of alleged alibis before reaching a breakthrough. Sustained questioning helped uncover details of the alleged conspiracy, revealing a "crime of desperation" driven by personal relationships, family pressure, and other factors.
Officials believe that Siya Goyal and Chetan Chaudhary showed no signs of remorse and had created alibis to avoid detection. The police are continuing to investigate the case, and further details are expected to emerge as the probe unfolds.
