Ketan Agarwal Case: No Knife, No Blood, No Trace — How 12th Fail Siya-Chetan 'Perfected' Murder Plan

Raja Raghuvanshi's mother Uma calls Pune accused Siya Goyal a 'mini Sonam,' citing similar body language and an apparent lack of remorse in both murder cases.

The Ketan Agarwal murder case at Lohagad Fort near Lonavala is throwing up fresh, shocking revelations every day. Main accused Siya Goyal — Ketan’s fiancée — and her boyfriend Chetan Chaudhary are undergoing intense interrogation, after what initially looked like an accident turned out to be a meticulously planned murder. Class 12-failed Siya and her lover allegedly plotted and executed the killing so cleverly that even investigating officers were left stunned by the precision of the plan.

The accused had planned the crime so cleverly that it initially appeared to be a mere accident, with no physical evidence left at the spot. This posed a major challenge for investigators, forcing Pune Police to lean heavily on technical investigation — scanning mobile data, deleted messages, location history and internet search records round the clock before finally landing on concrete leads.

How Was The ‘Perfect Murder’ Allegedly Plotted?

According to police, Siya and Chetan spent six to seven months studying major murder cases reported across India online, allegedly searching for methods that would leave no forensic trail and arouse no suspicion.

Knowing that using a knife or weapon would leave bloodstains and forensic evidence behind, they instead allegedly chose to push Ketan off Lohagad Fort and stage it as an accident.
