- Accused Siya and Chetan rehearsed crime at Lullanagar hill.
- Police recovered Siya's clothes for forensic analysis.
In a fresh development in the Ketan Agarwal murder case, his fiancee and accused, Siya Goyal, has agreed to undergo a polygraph test after he was allegedly pushed to his death from a hill at Lohagad Fort in Maharashtra.
Siya Goyal has consented to a lie detector test in connection with the murder of her fiance, real estate businessman Ketan Agarwal. Legal consent from the accused is required before conducting such a test.
Her lawyer, Vipul Dusing, stated that the 20-year-old gave her consent to the Lonavala rural police on Thursday. Meanwhile, Chetan Chaudhary (22), the co-accused and alleged lover of Siya Goyal, is also facing a polygraph test request after Pune Rural Police moved to a local court on Thursday to secure authorisation for both suspects.
What is a polygraph test?
A polygraph test, commonly referred to as a lie detector test, records physiological responses such as blood pressure, pulse rate, respiration, and sweat activity while the subject answers questions related to the case.

Investigators have also revealed that Siya and Chetan practised and rehearsed the crime.
Siya and co-accused Chetan Chaudhary had even practised it before allegedly pushing Ketan from the cliff at Lohagad Fort. This rehearsal took place at the Lullanagar hill near Pune’s cantonment area. Police recreated the scene on Thursday at Lullanagar Hill.
The investigation also revealed that the accused had researched methods of killing Agarwal online before the incident. According to police, Siya and Chaudhary had visited Lohagad Fort prior to the alleged murder to familiarise themselves with the location and plan their actions.
On Thursday, Pune Rural Police took the main accused, Siya Goyal, to her house to recover the clothes she was wearing on the day of the incident.
According to officials, the seized clothes will be sent for forensic analysis to determine whether they contain any evidence that could help establish the sequence of events leading to the alleged murder.
