The investigation into the death of businessman Ketan Agarwal has entered a crucial phase as police continue examining digital evidence, witness statements, and forensic findings to establish the sequence of events leading up to the incident. Officials say the case remains under active investigation, and all claims made by the accused are being verified through evidence before any legal conclusions are drawn.
According to investigators, one of the primary focuses is reconstructing the timeline of events before Ketan’s death near Lohagad Fort. Police are analyzing mobile phone records, location data, call logs, and electronic communication to determine the movements of those involved and whether the available evidence supports the statements recorded during questioning.
Officials said the case initially appeared to be an accidental fall after Ketan reportedly slipped while visiting the fort. Based on the information available at the time, an accidental death report was registered. However, investigators later noticed inconsistencies that prompted a more detailed inquiry. Subsequent evidence led police to treat the matter as a suspected case of murder and criminal conspiracy.
Investigators are also examining whether there were earlier attempts to execute the alleged plan. Forensic teams have revisited the sequence of events and are comparing physical evidence with digital records to identify any contradictions. Authorities believe this process will help establish whether the incident was premeditated or whether the evidence points in another direction.
Police sources say both accused individuals have provided different versions of what happened. During questioning, each has reportedly blamed the other for planning the alleged crime. Investigators are therefore relying heavily on objective evidence, including forensic reports, mobile data, and witness testimony, rather than statements alone.
Legal experts note that statements made during police questioning are only one part of an investigation and must be supported by admissible evidence in court. The final determination of guilt or innocence will depend on the judicial process and the material presented during trial.
The investigation has also highlighted the growing role of digital evidence in modern criminal cases. Mobile phone records, GPS location history, messaging data, and surveillance footage are increasingly being used to verify timelines and identify inconsistencies in witness accounts. Officials involved in the case say such evidence can provide valuable insights when examined alongside forensic findings.
Police have appealed to the public to avoid speculation while the investigation continues. Authorities have also cautioned against circulating unverified claims or misinformation on social media, stating that only information released through official channels should be considered reliable.
The case has attracted widespread public attention because the victim and the accused woman were engaged, with wedding preparations reportedly underway before the incident. Investigators are examining all aspects of the relationship and related circumstances to understand the events leading up to the alleged crime.
Officials have confirmed that the investigation is still in progress and that additional evidence may emerge as forensic analysis continues. Once all findings are compiled, police are expected to submit a detailed chargesheet before the court.
