For months, the social media profile of Pune baker Siya Goyal showcased a picture-perfect romance with her wealthy fiance, Ketan Vishal Agarwal. Following a grand engagement announcement in February, her feed featured a seamless stream of candle-lit cakes, floral gestures, and loving birthday countdowns. Behind this polished digital presentation, however, lay a calculated homicide plot.
Lonavala rural police have cracked open the reality behind Ketan’s death on June 18 at Lohagad Fort, near Pune. Initially reported by Goyal as a tragic accident caused by strong winds while taking photos, detectives grew suspicious of her calm, unbothered behavior at the scene, transforming an Accidental Death Report (ADR) into a high-profile murder and criminal conspiracy investigation.

Detailed Mechanics of a Multi-Layered Murder Plot
The investigation reveals that Goyal was deeply involved with Chetan Babulal Chaudhary, 22, a dry fruit business operator she met during a commercial meeting in late 2025. Viewing the impending high-society wedding as an obstacle, the duo spent seven months mapping out ways to eliminate Ketan. Data extracted from network service providers confirmed that the two exchanged 2,004 phone calls totaling nearly 238 hours over the course of their affair.
The fatal encounter at Lohagad Fort was actually the culmination of multiple deliberate attempts to derail the marriage:
-
The Bali Trip Sabotage: On June 6, the couple was scheduled to fly to Indonesia for an elite pre-wedding photoshoot. The victim’s father, prominent Maharashtra businessman Vishal Agarwal, noted that during a roadside stop at a food mall, Goyal briefly returned to the family vehicle alone under the pretext of retrieving her mobile phone. Upon arrival at Mumbai airport, Ketan’s passport was missing from a shared travel pouch, forcing him to cancel his flight.
-
The June 14 Cliffside Failure: Just four days prior to the murder, Goyal lured Ketan to Lohagad Fort and attempted to shove him off the edge. Ketan managed to survive by grabbing a cliffside bush. Goyal quickly covered her tracks by screaming about a fake snake sighting and hugging him to deflect suspicion.
The Execution of “Plan B” at the Fort
On June 18, the conspirators initiated their secondary protocol. CCTV footage captured Chaudhary trailing the couple along the fort pathways at a distance of 20 to 30 feet, wearing a heavy winter hoodie in 33-degree Celsius heat to mask his identity from tourists.
