Police investigating the death of Ketan Agarwal at a Pune fort have uncovered an elaborate scheme involving a fabricated social media account, according to case details. Agarwal, 28, died on June 18 after falling from the fort, with investigators alleging he was deliberately pushed by accomplices.
The accused, identified as Siya Goyal, Agarwal's fiancée, allegedly created a fake Instagram profile as part of a premeditated plan to lure him to the location, authorities said. The deception was designed to separate Agarwal from others and facilitate the alleged crime, investigators believe.
