Pune fort murder | The scorpion’s sting
Police have arrested the fiancée and boyfriend of Ketan Agarwal, alleging they murdered him at Lohagad Fort after initially staging it as an accidental fall. The investigation revealed a premeditated plot involving the victim, who was from a wealthy real estate family.
Why it matters
The case has garnered significant public attention due to the high-profile nature of the families involved and the dramatic shift from an accidental death report to a murder investigation.
Lohagad Fort sits above the Indrayani valley in Maval taluka, roughly 50 kilometres from Pune, Maharashtra. A popular weekend trekking destination, the fort draws visitors through most of the year, and in the weeks before and after the monsoon, the approach path fills with groups from across the Mumbai-Pune corridor.
The report provides a factual account of the police investigation and the victim's family's perspective without sensationalizing the criminal elements.
