PUNE: Siya Goyal, the main accused in the Lohargarh Fort murder case, initially had no plan of killing her fiancé, Ketan Agarwal, but to make him seriously injured so that she could decline the marriage, citing his disability, and marry her boyfriend, Chetan Chaudhary.
Goyal (20) and Chetan Chaudhary (22) are in judicial custody for allegedly killing her 25-year-old fiancé and Pune-based developer Ketan. The digital and forensic probe has revealed that the two accused had searched the Internet on how to make a person permanently disabled and how to slow poison a person so that she could get away from the wedding, the Pune Police said on Tuesday.
The Pune police revealed that Siya and Chetan had various meetings to discuss how Ketan can be injured badly, not killed also. They wanted to break his hand and leg and even discussed whether that could be done when Siya and Ketan were off to Bali on a pre-wedding trip and during the earlier Lohagad Fort visit.
However, Siya was unable to execute that plan during the first two visits to Lohagad Fort as Ketan managed to balance himself and prevent the fall off the cliff. Siya covered up the incident by saying that she pushed Ketan to save him from a snake. Siya thought that by making Ketan disabled, she would convince her family against marrying a physically challenged person.
“She did not want to kill Ketan. She and her boyfriend Chetan tried different means to injure Ketan Agarwal but failed in their attempts. Finally, they conspired to push him into the 400 ft deep valley of Lohagad Fort. Both the accused’s and co-accused’s mobile Google search histories show that they visited and studied Tiger Point and other deadly points of Lohagad Fort,” said police.
