The Ketan Agarwal murder investigation has entered a crucial phase, with Pune Rural Police set to seek court approval for polygraph tests on accused Siya Goyal and Chetan Chaudhary. Investigators are examining deleted WhatsApp chats and phone records to establish the sequence of events.
The investigation into the alleged murder of Pune businessman Ketan Agarwal is set to enter another critical stage, with Pune Rural Police preparing to seek a court's permission to conduct polygraph tests on both accused in the case.
Investigators believe the two accused—Ketan Agarwal's fiancée Siya Goyal and her alleged boyfriend Chetan Chaudhary—are concealing key facts surrounding the businessman’s death.

Police took Siya Goyal to her residence to carry out a panchnama as part of the ongoing investigation. The probe lasted for around 40 to 45 minutes.
