The murder of Pune-based entrepreneur Ketan Agarwal has sent waves of shock across the country as well as social media. The 26-year-old was initially believed to have died by an accidental fall during a trek at Lohagad Fort on June 18; however, later investigations revealed it to be an alleged murder case reportedly planned by his soon-to-be wife, Siya Goyal, and her alleged lover, Chetan Chaudhary. Television actress Hina Khan has now reacted to the shocking case by taking to social media to share her thoughts.
Hina Khan took to her Instagram story on Wednesday, June 24, to react to the case. Hina wrote, "Aaj ke time mai Sach Sunna Aur Sach kehna itna mushkil ho Gaya hai ki log kisi ki jaan lene ko bhi taiyaar hain.. It seems it is easier to take someone's life than to accept the truth you could have spared him, Bus Ek sach bolke and lived your life with any XYZ.. whyyyyy? Afsos ketanmurdercase."
Ketan reportedly got engaged to Siya earlier this year. The couple was reportedly set to marry in November, for which their families had even booked a palace in Rajasthan worth Rs 17 crore and arranged two private planes to fly in guests for the wedding.
Days before the reported murder, the couple had allegedly planned a pre-wedding photoshoot trip to Bali. However, the trip was cancelled after Ketan found out that his passport was missing at Mumbai airport. Police further state that an initial attempt to execute the alleged murder plan was made on June 14. Siya allegedly tried to push Ketan off the fort. However, the attempt allegedly failed after she raised an alarm about spotting a snake and later said that he had fallen accidentally during the panic.
On June 18, Siya and Chetan successfully executed their plan by pushing Ketan off Lohagad Fort. The two have been remanded to police custody till June 29 by a Magistrate Court in Pune.
Investigators have also stated that Siya did not want to marry Ketan and seemingly conspired with Chetan to eliminate him. The probe further indicates that the two accused first met at a Diwali party last year and later developed a close friendship.
