Love Triangle Turns Deadly: Businessman Pushed from Fort
20 Sep
Summary
- Businessman Ketan Agarwal was allegedly murdered by his fiancee and her lover.
- Accused researched murder films and used ChatGPT for planning.
- Lohagad Fort was chosen to make the death appear accidental.
A detailed 5,053-page chargesheet has been filed in a Pune court concerning the alleged murder of 26-year-old businessman Ketan Agarwal. Agarwal died after being pushed from Lohagad Fort on June 18, leading to the arrest of his fiancee, Siya Goyal, her lover Chetan Chaudhary, and another individual, Ritesh Hange.
The investigation revealed a disturbing plot where the accused initially considered hiring an outsider for the murder but abandoned the idea due to potential risks. They then resorted to researching murder films and utilizing ChatGPT for planning, even listening to podcasts on evading police detection.
The selection of Lohagad Fort was strategic. Investigators found that the accused conducted a recce of the Lonavala area, choosing Lohagad because a previous death there in March could make Agarwal's death seem accidental. They believed a fall while taking a selfie would be a plausible explanation.
Evidence also points to a failed attempt on June 14, when Goyal allegedly tried to push Agarwal off a cliff at Lohagad. Additionally, a planned trip to Bali was thwarted when Goyal allegedly tore Agarwal's passport on June 6. A fake Instagram account, 'Mahi', was created to lure Agarwal to the fort on June 18 for a supposed surprise birthday, a plan orchestrated by Ritesh Hange.
