Ketan Agarwal murder case update — new cricket connection surfaces as Siya Goyal's parents deny knowing accused Chetan

The investigation into the death of Pune businessman Ketan Agarwal has revealed an unexpected cricket connection involving the main accused. Police found that Agarwal's family first learned about the close relationship between Siya Goyal and co-accused Chetan Chaudhary during a local community cricket match held earlier this year.

According to a report by The Times of India, investigators said the family became aware of their friendship during the January cricket event. However, they reportedly did not take it seriously because of the financial differences between the two families and went ahead with Siya's engagement to Ketan.

Police allege that Siya later pushed Ketan off a cliff at Lohagad Fort near Pune, leading to his death. As the investigation continues, another shocking detail has emerged. Investigators now believe that cricket was the reason Siya Goyal and Chetan Chaudhary first met and eventually grew close.

New cricket connection surfaces in Ketan Agarwal murder case — Who is Chetan and what is his role?

According to the police investigation, Siya Goyal and Chetan Chaudhary first met through cricket. Siya's brother, Sahil Goyal, is a cricketer, and she often attends his matches. Chetan played on the same team as Sahil, and that is where he and Siya became friends. Over time, their friendship reportedly turned into a relationship. However, Siya's parents were unaware of it and arranged her marriage with Pune businessman Ketan Agarwal.

Police said the cricket connection helped Chetan become close to the Goyal family. Investigators claim that what started as a sporting friendship eventually gave Chetan regular access to the family. Ketan, a director at a Pune-based real estate firm, died on June 18 after falling from Lohagad Fort. Police are treating the case as a suspected murder. Siya and Chetan have been arrested and are currently in police custody.

During the investigation, police questioned Sahil Goyal to find out when he learned about the relationship and whether other family members knew about it. According to police sources, Sahil said he became aware of Siya and Chetan's relationship several months ago. He reportedly advised his sister to end the relationship because she was already engaged to Ketan. Investigators are now examining whether any family members noticed warning signs before the alleged conspiracy was planned.

The death of Pune businessman Ketan Agarwal has taken a shocking turn after police named his fiancée, Siya Goyal, and her alleged friend, Chetan Chaudhary, as the main accused. Investigators believe Ketan's death at Lohagad Fort on June 18 was not an accident and are treating the case as a suspected murder. Both Siya and Chetan are currently in police custody.

During the investigation, police found that Siya and Chetan reportedly knew each other through cricket and were in a relationship before Siya's marriage to Ketan was arranged. However, Siya's father, Pravin Goyal, denied that the family knew anything about the relationship. "We did not have any prior knowledge about Siya's love affairs. Siya was a simple girl. She is 19 years old. I don't know anything about him. Where did Chetan come from? I have never seen his face, nor have I ever spoken to him. He has never been to our house," he said.

Pravin Goyal also said Siya never objected to the arranged marriage. According to him, she only stayed in touch with Ketan after their engagement. "Siya never expressed any displeasure about this marriage. Ever since the engagement, she only spoke to Ketan. I don't believe she agreed to anything like this," he added. Police are continuing to investigate the case and the events leading up to Ketan's death.

The investigation into Ketan Agarwal's death is still underway. Pune Rural Police are questioning family members to understand how Siya Goyal and Chetan Chaudhary became close to the family. On Friday (June 26), police recorded the statement of Siya's brother, Sahil Goyal, as part of the investigation.

According to a police officer, the initial investigation suggests that Sahil knew about Siya's relationship with Chetan. Police are now trying to find out whether he shared this information with other family members. "Preliminary investigation suggests that Sahil was aware of his sister's relationship with Chetan Chaudhary. We are verifying whether he shared this information with other family members," the officer said.

Siya Goyal and Chetan Chaudhary remain in police custody until June 29 as the investigation continues. Police are examining all the evidence and questioning those connected to the case. More details are expected to emerge as investigators work to uncover the full truth behind Ketan Agarwal's death.
