Lohagad Fort Murder Case: Key Hearing Today as Defence Opposes Custody Extension, New Evidence Surfaces

Pune, June 29 : The Ketan Agarwal murder case reached a crucial juncture on Monday, June 29, as the seven-day police custody of both accused — Siya Goyal and Chetan Chaudhary — expired and a Pune court took up the matter afresh. The defence is fighting hard to prevent any further extension of police remand, while investigators have been racing to consolidate physical and digital evidence before the deadline.

Defence Opposes Further Custody

Advocate Ashutosh Srivastava, legal counsel for accused Siya Goyal, made clear ahead of the hearing that he would strongly oppose any police remand extension. Speaking to media as the custody was set to expire, he stated that his client had cooperated fully with the investigation, answered all questions, and that family members had also recorded their statements. He argued that police had been given sufficient time for interrogation and expressed his view that the court should send Siya to judicial custody given that she is a 20-year-old woman.

Srivastava also stated that no charge sheet has yet been filed in the case, and maintained that in his view there are no independent witnesses to prove that his client committed the crime. He said both sides would present arguments on June 29, and the court would then deliver an appropriate order.
