India TodayIndependentProgressiveFactual 95Objective 8512 days ago

Sahil Goyal, the brother of Siya Goyal, has raised concerns about the legal representation provided by lawyer Aashutosh Srivastava in the murder case of Ketan Agarwal. Sahil claims that Srivastava was not authorized by the family to represent them and alleges that Srivastava may have obtained Siya's signature through deception. The family has submitted an affidavit to the court regarding this issue and accuses Srivastava of making threats. The case involves allegations that Siya and her boyfriend Chetan Chaudhary conspired to murder Ketan by pushing him off Lohagad Fort. Key evidence includes the disappearance of Ketan's passport, which was crucial for their planned trip to Bali. The passport was reportedly stolen by Siya, leading to the cancellation of the trip. A cab driver reported that Siya had removed an item from her purse before arriving at the airport, and subsequent searches failed to locate the passport. Authorities are investigating these events as part of a broader conspiracy.

The article discusses the ongoing investigation into the alleged murder of real estate agent Ketan Agarwal in Pune, India. Key evidence includes claims from a cab driver who reported that Siya Goyal, Ketan's fiancée, seemed reluctant to enter the taxi for a planned pre-wedding trip to Bali. Her brother, Sahil Goyal, reportedly forced her into the vehicle, during which he and Siya argued. The trip was later canceled when Ketan's passport disappeared, with police alleging that Siya took it and destroyed it, possibly to prevent the trip due to opposition from Chetan Chaudhary, whom they suspect was in a relationship with her.
