Police Investigate Ketan Agrawal's Death

Ketan Agrawal died after falling from Lohagad Fort on June 18, following which a murder case was registered. Lonavala Rural Police suspect that the prime accused, Siya Goyal, who was engaged to Agrawal, was unwilling to marry at this stage of her life and was allegedly under family pressure to go ahead with the marriage. Siya Goyal, along with Chetan Chaudhary, is the accused in the case.

Crime Scene Recreated

Earlier today, the Pune Police took accused Chetan Chaudhary to Lohagad Fort to recreate the crime scene in the Ketan Agarwal murder case, using a dummy matching the victim's weight to reconstruct how the incident allegedly unfolded.

After the crime reconstruction, Additional Superintendent of Police of Pune Rural, Shubham Kumar, said that the dummy was designed as per the weight of the deceased. "We took Chetan Chaudhary for the scene reconstruction, and he told us about the sequence of events of that day. Investigation is underway. The dummy was designed according to the weight of Ketan," he said.

The exercise was aimed at verifying the sighting through forensic gait-matching. Gait analysis refers to the study of human movement during walking or running, mostly used by police for suspects captured on videos or CCTVs (ANI)
