The murder case of the Pune realtor Ketan Agarwal has taken a fresh twist as investiagtion has revealed that Siya Goyal had ‘secretly’ married her boyfriend Chetan Chaudhary, nearly four months before Agrawal was allegedly killed, Times of India reported citing sources.
According to sources, Goyal and Chaudhary allegedly solemnised their marriage despite Goyal’s engagement to Agrawal in February. The two reportedly kept the alleged marriage hidden from their families even as preparations for Goyal’s wedding with Agrawal continued.
The claim is said to have emerged during the police’s examination of the accused’s digital trail, including WhatsApp chats, call records, location data and internet search history from the past six to seven months.
A Times of India source privy to the investigation claimed that police are now trying to trace the couple’s marriage certificate to establish the timeline and gather documentary evidence of the alleged secret wedding.
Sources also claimed that two of Goyal’s college friends allegedly signed as witnesses to the marriage.
Police technical teams are trying to recover deleted photographs from a private Instagram account that allegedly showed Goyal and Chaudhary wearing wedding garlands. Investigators believe the images could help corroborate the claim that the two had married months before Agrawal’s death.
Agrawal was allegedly pushed off the historic Lohagad Fort near Lonavala on June 18. Police have arrested Goyal and Chaudhary in connection with the case.
