Ketan Agarwal Murder Case: SIT Likely To Be Formed, Siya's Mother Says, 'Hang Her If She Is Guilty'

The Maharashtra government is likely to form a special investigation team (SIT) to probe the Ketan Agarwal murder case after the initial accidental death was found to be a well-planned killing by his fiancée, Siya Goyal, and her lover, Chetan Choudhary.

An NCP MLA, Sunil Shelke, raised the issue in the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly, seeking the inclusion of Siya's family as accused in the murder case. Following this, MLA Raju Khare, who was presiding over the assembly, ordered the government to form a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate the case.

However, Shiv Sena (UBT) member Bhaskar Jadhav asked whether the presiding officer's direction was binding on the government.

Shalke claimed that Siya's family knew about her relationship with Chetan yet concealed the information from the Agarwal family. He also demanded that the murder case be heard in a fast-track court.

Meanwhile, Siya's mother had come forward and said that her daughter should be hanged if she is guilty of the crime.

She told media portal NewsDotz, "If she is guilty, she should receive the harshest punishment. If she is guilty, she should be hanged; this is what a mother is saying."

Her father, Praveen Goyal, also iterated a similar stand. He said, "Whoever is guilty in this case, even if it's my daughter, should be hanged," Praveen Goyal told the media outlet.

Praveen Goyal is currently admitted to the ICU as he suffered a heart attack on June 23.

According to police sources, on the day of the incident (June 18), Chetan went to Lohagarh Fort with his servant Neeraj's mobile phone to conceal his identity and had made multiple calls to Siya.
