The death of a 26-year-old Pune businessman Ketan Vishal Agarwal during a trek at Lohagad Fort, initially believed to be an accidental fall, has taken a dramatic turn after police arrested his fiancée and her friend on suspicion of murder.

Agarwal, a resident of Gahunje and a director in his family-run real estate business, had gone to Lohagad Fort on Thursday (June 18) as part of pre-birthday celebrations for his fiancée, Sia Goel. The couple was scheduled to marry in November, and their families had already booked a wedding venue in Udaipur, Rajasthan.

According to police, Agarwal had gone on the trek with his fiancée and two others. He was reported to have fallen nearly 400 feet into a gorge from near the edge of a cliff. His body was recovered following a rescue operation carried out by the Lonavala Rural Police and the Shivdurg Mitra Emergency Rescue Team.

“However, during the course of the investigation, police found evidence leading to the arrest of his fiancée and her friend, who was present at the spot when the incident occurred,” a senior police officer said.

Police are expected to provide further details on the motive and sequence of events.
