A Maharashtra court on Friday sent Siya Goyal and Chetan Chaudhary to 14-day judicial custody in connection with the murder case of Pune businessman Ketan Agarwal.

The accused were produced before the Vadgaon Maval court after their police custody ended. The police sought an extension of their remand and permission to conduct polygraph tests on both accused.

On July 2, the police took Siya Goyal to a location in Pune where she and Chetan Chaudhary had allegedly rehearsed how to push her fiancé and realtor Ketan Agarwal off a cliff at Lohagad Fort.

Goyal (20) and Chaudhary (22) are accused of pushing 25-year-old Agarwal to his death from a cliff at Lohagad Fort in Pune district on June 18. Agarwal and Goyal were set to marry in November this year.

Following the alleged murder, Goyal and Chaudhary were arrested and have been remanded in police custody till July 3.

“Investigation has revealed that Siya and Chetan had rehearsed at a hillock-like space near a club in Lullanagar how to push Ketan off the cliff at Lohagad Fort. Today, Siya was taken to the spot, where she identified the place where they had allegedly carried out the rehearsal," a Pune Rural Police official said.

The alleged rehearsal took place in May and probe is on to find out the exact date and other details, the official informed.

“We have also collected substantial amount of technical and digital data, which is currently being analysed and cross-verified," he added.

During the house panchnama, the police recovered the clothes Goyal had allegedly worn on the day of the incident at Lohagad Fort, the official said.

The official said an application has been moved in the Vadgaon Maval court seeking permission for polygraph tests on Goyal and Chaudhary.

“The court will first issue notices to the accused and record their consent before any further process. The procedure is yet to be completed," the official told PTI.

According to police, Goyal and Chaudhary allegedly eliminated Agarwal as he was turning out to be an obstacle in their relationship.
