Why Did Siya Goyal Allegedly Plot Ketan Agarwal's Murder?

A shocking new claim by Pune Police has added a fresh twist to the murder investigation of realtor Ketan Agarwal. According to investigators, accused Siya Goyal allegedly told police that she did not want to get married and believed that Ketan's death would give her at least three more years before her family raised the issue of marriage again, according to a report by India Today.

Police stress that this is part of their investigation and the allegations are yet to be tested in court.

Why Three More Years?

Investigators claim Siya was unhappy with her arranged marriage to Ketan Agarwal. Instead of ending the engagement, which police believe could have led to family pressure and social embarrassment, she allegedly chose another path. She reportedly believed killing Ketan was easier than breaking off engagement.

Police also suspect that her co-accused, Chetan Chaudhary, wanted another two to three years before marrying Siya. Investigators believe the two allegedly agreed that eliminating Ketan would delay any marriage plans.

According to police, Siya and Chetan knew each other before her engagement. Investigators say they travelled with friends to Udaipur in January, weeks before Siya got engaged in February.

The investigation also found that Chetan was known to Siya's family through her brother, Sahil Goyal, who reportedly played cricket with him.

Calls and Meeting Before Murder

Police say call records show Siya and Chetan exchanged 2,004 phone calls from January onwards, spending nearly 238 hours talking.

Investigators are also examining a meeting between the two at a café in Pune's Lullanagar on June 17, one day before Ketan Agarwal was allegedly murdered. Police suspect the meeting may have been linked to the alleged conspiracy.

Chetan Chaudhary is from Jodhpur, Rajasthan

Chetan Chaudhary, the boyfriend of Pune murder accused Siya Goyal, is a native of Palasni village in Rajasthan's Bilara area of Jodhpur district. According to an exclusive report by Dainik Bhaskar, Chetan's family has been living in Pune for years, where his father runs a grocery shop. Siya's father reportedly has a property business office opposite the shop.

The report says Chetan and Siya studied at the same college. Siya frequently visited her father's office, and it was during this period that the two came into contact and eventually became close.

Couple Visited Jodhpur Months Before Killing

According to the report, Chetan brought Siya to Jodhpur in December 2025, months before the alleged murder of her fiancé, Ketan Agarwal. They reportedly stayed together for two days at a five-star hotel in the city and also visited the iconic Mehrangarh Fort.

The report further claims that about a month before the murder, the couple visited the same luxury hotel where Siya's destination wedding with Ketan Agarwal was reportedly planned. Friends of Chetan from Palasni village, speaking to Dainik Bhaskar on condition of anonymity, said he often spent time with them whenever he visited Jodhpur from Pune.
