Pune Rural police have filed a 5,053-page chargesheet in the Ketan Agarwal murder case, naming his fiancée Siya Goyal, her alleged lover Chetan Chaudhary, and Ritesh Hange as accused. Agarwal, a realtor, was pushed off Lohagad Fort on June 18. The chargesheet, submitted in the Vadgaon Maval court, includes mobile data, call records, witness statements, and technical analysis certificates. According to police, the accused created a fake Instagram account in the name of 'Mahi' to lure Agarwal to the fort under the pretext of a surprise birthday party for Goyal. The trio allegedly researched murder films, used ChatGPT, and listened to podcasts on evading detection. Goyal had also searched online about a similar fatal fall at Lohagad last year and studied the Sonam Raghuvanshi murder case. The chargesheet details a failed push attempt on June 14 and the tearing of Agarwal's passport to cancel a Bali trip. The court will now examine the chargesheet. The next hearing date is awaited.
