Secret marriage claim jolts Pune realtor murder probe

Police investigate alleged secret marriage linked to the murder case

A fresh twist has emerged in the investigation into the murder of Pune-based realtor Ketan Agarwal, with police sources claiming that the prime accused, Siya Goyal, had secretly married her alleged lover, Chetan Chaudhary, nearly four months before the crime.

According to investigators, Siya was officially engaged to Ketan Agarwal, but had reportedly continued her relationship with Chetan. Police now believe the secret marriage could be a significant development in understanding the motive behind the murder. The claims surfaced during the ongoing investigation and are being verified through documentary evidence and witness statements.

Officials said the marriage allegedly took place without the knowledge of Ketan or his family. Investigators are examining records, digital communications and financial transactions to establish the sequence of events leading up to the killing. They are also questioning people close to the accused to determine whether the marriage had any direct connection with the alleged conspiracy.

Police suspect the accused carefully planned the crime over several weeks. Evidence collected so far, including mobile phone data and other forensic material, is being analysed to identify the roles played by everyone involved. Authorities have maintained that the investigation remains active and that all aspects of the case are being examined before filing the final chargesheet.

The murder of Ketan Agarwal had shocked Pune, with the case drawing widespread attention because of its alleged links to a personal relationship and a possible conspiracy. The latest revelations have added another layer to the investigation, shifting the focus towards the accused’s personal life and her relationship with Chetan Chaudhary.

Investigators have not yet officially confirmed every claim related to the alleged secret marriage, but sources say it has become a crucial part of the probe. Police are expected to continue collecting evidence and recording statements before presenting their findings in court.
