PUNE: The investigation into the alleged murder of Ketan Agarwal has turned its focus on Chetan Chaudhary, with police claiming that Siya Goyal was close to him and allegedly wanted to get rid of her fiancé while continuing her relationship with him.

“We did not have any prior knowledge about Siya’s love affairs. Siya was a simple girl. She is 19 years old. Would a 19-year-old girl do such a thing? I don’t know anything about him.
Where did Chetan come from? I’ve never seen his face, nor have I ever spoken to him in my life. He has never been to our house.”
Pravin Goyal also rejected the suggestion that Siya was unhappy about her arranged marriage with Ketan.

“Siya never expressed any displeasure about this marriage… We did not know anything about Chetan. Ever since the engagement, she only spoke to Ketan… I don’t believe that she agreed (to commit the crime)”
Police, however, suspect that Siya allegedly wanted more time for herself and was unwilling to proceed with the marriage despite pressure from her family.
