Nearly 10 days after 26-year-old Pune-based realtor Ketan Agarwal was allegedly pushed to his death from Lohagad Fort by his fiance and her alleged lover, both accused, Siya Goyal and Chetan Chaudhary, were taken to the hilltop on Sunday to reconstruct the crime and piece together how the events unfolded on the day of the murder.
The exercise forms part of the ongoing investigation into the June 18 incident, in which Agarwal was allegedly pushed off the fort by Goyal, 20, and her alleged lover, Chaudhary, 22.

A senior Pune rural police official said Goyal was taken to the precise location from where the victim was allegedly pushed.
“Siya was taken to the spot at Lohagad Fort from where she, along with Chetan Chaudhary, allegedly pushed Agarwal to death. Chetan will be taken to the fort separately,” the official said, news agency PTI reported.
Officials added that the reconstruction would help verify the accused’s claims about how and from where Agarwal was pushed.

According to police, the process involves recreating the entire chain of events at the site, including the movements and actions of the accused on the day of the incident.
The crime scene recreation is being video recorded. Investigators are examining how the accused reached the fort, their positioning during the incident, and the sequence in which events unfolded.
The police also stated that the exercise is aimed at understanding how both accused allegedly pushed the victim off the hill, the signal allegedly given by Goyal before the act, and how Chaudhary followed the couple at the fort. Police are also verifying whether he reached the site without a ticket and continued tracking the pair.

To facilitate the exercise, Lohagad Fort has been temporarily closed to the public, with police restricting entry for safety reasons.
Goyal and Chaudhary were arrested for allegedly conspiring to kill Agarwal. According to investigators, Goyal told police she did not want to marry Agarwal and feared that calling off the wedding would bring disrepute to her family.
Investigators are probing several aspects of the case, including the planning of the alleged crime, movements of the accused before and after the incident, their digital footprint, and the motive behind the killing.
