The mother of Siya Goyal, who has been accused along with her alleged lover of murdering her fiancé Ketan Agarwal, has said that her daughter should face the strictest punishment if she is found guilty.
“If she is guilty, then she should receive the strictest punishment. Hang her if she is guilty; a mother is saying this,” Siya’s mother told Newsdotz.
Siya’s father, Praveen Goyal, also made a similar statement.
“Whoever is guilty in this case, even if it is my daughter, should be hanged,” he told the same media outlet.
Praveen Goyal is currently undergoing treatment at a hospital in Pune after suffering a heart attack on June 23.
Siya’s brother is reportedly staying at the hospital to take care of both parents. The family’s residence, Leela Kunj, in Pune’s Market Yard area remains locked.
According to police, Siya Goyal and Chetan Babulal Chaudhary allegedly pushed 26-year-old Ketan Agarwal from Lohagad Fort in Maharashtra’s Sahyadri range, causing him to fall to his death. The incident was initially reported as an accidental fall during a trek.
Police said Siya met Chetan at a cafe in Pune hours before the incident. Both have been charged with murder and criminal conspiracy.
Investigators allege that the two met at the cafe on the morning of June 18 to plan the killing.
During the meeting, they allegedly discussed how to execute the plan and identified specific locations at the fort from where Ketan could be pushed.
Later in the afternoon, Siya took Ketan to Lohagad Fort, presenting it as a three-to-four-hour trek, while Chetan allegedly followed them separately.
CCTV footage from the cafe reportedly shows Siya and Chetan sitting together and engaged in discussion.
Police allege that the two later pushed Ketan from behind into a gorge. Siya then allegedly informed Ketan’s family that he had slipped during the trek.
Police said Siya had made several attempts to take Ketan to Lohagad Fort, which is located around 3,300 feet above sea level.
The couple had visited the fort on May 31. Four days later, on June 4, Siya reportedly insisted on another visit, but Ketan’s mother did not allow him to go.
On June 14, she allegedly persuaded him to visit the fort again. During that visit, police claim she tried to push him off a cliff.
Ketan survived by holding on to a bush. When he asked why she had pushed him, Siya allegedly claimed there was a snake and that she had acted to protect him.
A review of CCTV footage from the fort reportedly showed a man wearing shorts and a hoodie walking behind the couple.
His hood was pulled low over his face, and he was also wearing a headset over the hoodie. In one clip, Siya is seen suddenly looking back, after which the man in the hoodie immediately sits down.
Police checked the weather records for that afternoon and found that the temperature was around 33 degrees Celsius. Investigators found the choice of heavy clothing in such heat unusual and suspicious.
Phone record analysis reportedly showed that Siya and Chetan had exchanged 2,004 calls over the past six to seven months, amounting to nearly 238 hours of conversation. Some calls allegedly lasted two to three hours.
Police said the two first met at a party during Diwali in 2025.
