'Is this…reason to kill?' Siya Goyal discovered Ketan was balding
The father of Pune businessman Ketan Agarwal, who allegedly died after being pushed off Lohagad Fort by his fiancee Siya Goyal and her lover Chetan Chaudhary, has made a shocking claim about the motive behind his son's murder.
After meeting Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Friday, Vishal suggested that his son may have been targeted for wearing a small hair patch.
He said Siya and her family were already informed about Ketan wearing a wig.
Is this a reason to kill someone? Vishal Agrawal said
"We had already informed them (Siya Goyal's family) that Ketan used a small patch of wig on his head. Is this a reason to kill someone?" Vishal asked.
He also claimed that Siya herself wanted to go on the trek during which the incident occurred.
Per investigators, Siya told Ketan that she did not want to marry him as she was in a relationship with Chetan, but Ketan was not ready to call off the wedding.
Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis reacts to the incident
Maharashtra Chief Minister Fadnavis called the alleged murder "extremely shocking" and said it raises larger questions about society.
He urged people to look beyond the criminal aspect of the case and examine broader social issues.
"This is an extremely shocking incident, something beyond imagination," he said, adding that society must consider what kind of environment needs to be created so such thoughts don't develop in children at a young age.
