Transcript
00:00Breaking news coming in, the Ketan murder case, where first images of Sia and Chetan plotting the murder have been
00:05accessed by India today.
00:07It was at 4.35pm when Sia and Chetan were seen entering into a cafe.
00:11At 5.30pm, Sia and Chetan were seen leaving from the cafe.
00:16So this was exactly in a period of about less than half an hour.
00:21According to the police investigation on the 17th of June, a day before the murder of Ketan Agarwal,
00:26Sia Goyal and Chetan Chaudhary had met at Third Wave Cafe in Pune.
00:30CCTV footage that has reportedly shown the duo entering the cafe,
00:34this happened at around 4.35pm and they left by 5.30pm approximately.
00:40Both planned the conspiracy of what they had to execute the next day at Lohagarh Fort.
00:46Investigators said that it was at this meeting that the two allegedly discussed
00:51and planned the murder of Ketan Agarwal.
00:54During the investigation, police said that Sia had searched for videos of Lohagarh Fort on YouTube
00:59and allegedly shared those details about the location with Chetan while they were at the cafe.
01:06On India Today, the first images of when and how Sia and Chetan conspired to kill Ketan.
01:16Let me take this to my colleague Omkar Wabli joining us on the broadcast.
01:20Omkar, exactly a day before the killing happened that they met at this particular cafe
01:26for less than an hour to discuss how they are going to execute the murder.
01:35The CCTV clearly shows that it was a pre-planned murder.
01:39They both met in the cafe and discussed the whole conspiracy.
01:44But now, after intensifying the investigation,
01:47it is clear that they had a meeting on 17th, exactly the day before murder.
01:52So, on 18th morning, Sia Goyal picked Ketan Agarwal,
01:58lured him and took him to the cliff of Lohagarh and then she pushed him from that.
02:03But the important thing is, 17th date is very interesting in this whole crime sequence
02:08because 17th was a date when in the evening, both had a meeting, both met each other,
02:13had a coffee together and at the same time,
02:15they discussed the plan of this whole murder conspiracy.
02:18Look, initially, it was reported as an accidental death.
02:22But when police cross-verified their sources,
02:27they took all the CCTVs and checked all CDR,
02:31then it revealed that it was completely pre-planned murder.
02:35And now, this is first on India Today.
02:37India Today is showing that how they both met,
02:40they had a coffee together, they discussed the plan.
02:43Look, investigation has already, police had that kind of input
02:47and they recovered all the social media history of Sia Goyal's phone
02:52and in that, it is clearly mentioned,
02:56she already shown some pictures and documentaries on videos of YouTube of Lohagarh.
03:03So, both were sitting together
03:06and both were discussing like how it is going to execute.
03:09Back to you.
03:11Oh yes, absolutely, Ounkar.
03:12And this also speaks about the sort of pattern
03:15that may have existed between Sia and Chetan
03:17because more than 238 hours of talking on the phone
03:22that the police has revealed of what came out in the call data records.
03:27And given the sort of psychology behind this killing,
03:31Sia did not muster the courage to tell her parents directly
03:34that she did not want to get married.
03:36Instead, they chose to hatch this plan to kill Ketan,
03:40which means how they must have met in between,
03:42stolen those hours,
03:45secretly spoken about how they want to hatch this murder.
03:49Parallely, she was also talking to Ketan,
03:51luring him to come to Lohagarh fort again
03:53so that they could execute this murder.
03:59Ounkar.
04:00Well, exactly.
04:00The crime sequence shows that Sia Goyal was,
04:03yeah, the crime sequence shows that
04:05Sia Goyal was completely aware of the location
04:08and the Lohagarh fort
04:09because she had been through the fort
04:11on 31st of May with Ketan Agrawal.
04:14It was the first time when they both went for a trek.
04:17That is how Sia completed her reki.
04:19She saw the location.
04:21She finalized everything.
04:22And then when she was again planning on 4th and June,
04:25that time Ketan Agrawal's father denied to go on fort
04:29because they had to complete their packing
04:32for Bali trip, which was planned on 6th.
04:35But again, the trip was cancelled
04:37and then when the 14th date arrived,
04:41after that, Sia met Chetan Chaudhary again in the cafe.
04:47And it was a cafe.
04:48CCTV clearly shows that both were having a meeting.
04:51They both were there for almost an hour
04:54discussing the conspiracy,
04:56finalizing the location on the fort.
04:58And Sia, at the same time,
04:59she showed him the visuals and the videos of Lohagarh fort.
05:32Oh yes, absolutely, Umkar.
05:33For all those months,
05:35without the know-how of the family,
05:37they were keeping this very secretive,
05:38probably meeting at cafes like this,
05:40speaking largely over the phone.
05:42And that is what the call data records have revealed.
05:45That they will finally get Ketan out of the way.
05:48And social media that was used in every manner,
05:51for her to show that she was in a strong relationship with Ketan,
05:54and she was all ready to get married to him.
05:55But actually, this is what was happening behind the curtain.
06:04Omkar.
06:09Yeah, will you please come again?
06:12Exactly the details that we are showing on our screens, Omkar,
06:14of the CCTV footage that speaks so much
06:17of what had been brewing in those six months,
06:21of how on the face of it for her family,
06:24Sia was with Ketan,
06:25all ready to get married to him,
06:26and that's the picture she was portraying on social media.
06:29But parallelly, all of this was happening with Chetan.
06:32These coffee meets, these phone calls,
06:34where they were conspiring to kill Ketan.
06:41Exactly, the conspiracy brewed in the cafe.
06:44Now it is very clear that they both were planning a murder.
06:47Initially, it was reported,
06:49that is how they, that is how they portrayed.
06:52He slipped from the cliff of Lohogar.
06:55But later on, when investigation intensified,
06:58when some cross-verification happened by the local crime branch,
07:01after that, police, Pune police got some kind of hints.
07:05Then again, they met some people,
07:07they cross-verified their sources,
07:09and then they confirmed that Chetan Chaudhary and Sia Goyal,
07:14both are the main conspirators.
07:16But now in investigation,
07:18it is clear that Sia Goyal was the main conspirator
07:20in this whole theory,
07:21because she was the one who planned everything,
07:24who included Chetan Chaudhary in her plan.
07:27Then on 31st of May,
07:29she went to Lohogar for Reiki.
07:32She completed everything,
07:33came back with Ketan Agrawal,
07:36and then she met Chetan Chaudhary
07:38for further plan execution.
07:40And that is how the murder planning went ahead.
07:42Both planned everything.
07:44Each and every plan brewed on 17th of June,
07:48just a day before murder.
07:51Back to you.
07:52Oh yes, Oumkar, thank you for getting us those details.
07:55Those are the pictures.
07:56The CCTV footage, rather,
07:58that has been accessed by India today.
08:01This is just a day before the murder had happened.
08:06Ketan was killed,
08:07thrown off the mountain cliff by Sia and Chetan,
08:10is what the police is investigating.
08:11As they continue to be in police custody,
08:13they are being questioned.
08:14But how exactly were they hatching this plan?
08:17Because they very smoothly made it look.
08:19And Sia more than Chetan,
08:20who passed it off as an accident
08:23with her fiancé at a special celebration
08:27at the Lohagar fort,
08:28where her fiancé, Ketan,
08:31slipped accidentally while taking a picture.
08:33Whereas the truth that is far more brutal
08:35of what had happened.
08:37Sia was in a relationship with Chetan.
08:40Those are the two on your screens right now.
08:42And these very pictures,
08:44this very CCTV footage,
08:45a day before Ketan's murder,
08:47when Sia and Chetan had met each other
08:49at a coffee shop.
08:50Why exactly?
08:51To decide on the failed attempt
08:54that had happened to kill Ketan
08:55and how they wanted to carry this out
08:58successfully the next day
08:59at the Lohagar fort.
09:01They would largely talk on the phone.
09:03None of their families knew about the other
09:06because she did not have the courage
09:08to confront her family,
09:09to tell them that she wanted to marry Chetan
09:11and not Ketan.
09:12And she was in a relationship with Chetan.
09:14But Chetan and Sia,
09:16who chose to kill Ketan instead
09:18and at that coffee shop
09:20where she had researched a lot.
09:21She had also wrecked the Lohagar fort earlier.
09:24But on YouTube,
09:25is what the cops are saying.
09:27She had gone through the footage
09:28of Lohagar fort
09:30to mark out the exact points
09:31to say how they will pass this off
09:34as an accident.
09:34How she will get Ketan
09:36to believe that it is a celebration,
09:39her pre-birthday celebration
09:40that is happening there.
09:41But actually,
09:43she was out there to kill him
09:44and all of this
09:45that she was conspiring with Chetan
09:47at this coffee shop,
09:49this meeting that happened
09:50just a day before.
09:51So, Amkar,
09:52I want to come back to you
09:53because a lot of this evidence
09:54that the police is now gathering
09:56and probably a lot of these meetings
09:58at coffee shops near their house,
10:00how they were trying to avoid
10:03the gaze of the camera
10:05and their families,
10:06most importantly,
10:08because she was in a solid relationship
10:10with Ketan for the world
10:12or ready to get married to him.
10:14But secretly,
10:14this is what was happening.
10:21Well, initially,
10:22police had no idea
10:23that she is dating Chetan Chaudhary.
10:26So, as I said,
10:27initially it was reported
10:28as an accidental death.
10:30But after the thorough investigation,
10:33local crime branch
10:34accessed their CDRs.
10:35So, after getting the call records,
10:37they got to know
10:37from January,
10:381st January till end of June,
10:41approximately six months,
10:42more than 2,000 calls
10:44were exchanged
10:45between Sia Goyal
10:46and Chetan Chaudhary.
10:47And then,
10:48police spoke to their friends,
10:52they cross-verified
10:53some evidences
10:54and then they got to know
10:55they both are dating.
10:56So, within six months,
10:58they were speaking to each other
11:00for almost 338 hours.
11:03So, more than 300 hours
11:04they were in contact
11:05with each other
11:06and that is how
11:07first suspension
11:08was there.
11:10Then,
11:10police started
11:11cross-interrogating them.
11:13When they were detained,
11:14later on,
11:15all details came up.
11:16So, it was a Sia who confessed
11:18that both,
11:20Sia's statement reflect that
11:21both met in a cafe
11:24on 17th of June.
11:26Then, again,
11:27police cross-verified
11:28everything from the Chetan Chaudhary
11:29during his interrogation
11:31and now,
11:32it is confirmed that
11:32the whole conspiracy
11:34brewed
11:34in a cafe located Pune
11:36just a day
11:37before the murder.
11:39CCTVs are clearly showing,
11:40both are speaking
11:41to each other.
11:42also Sia is showing
11:44some pictures
11:45and videos
11:45to Chetan Chaudhary
11:47and that is how
11:48this conspiracy
11:49went ahead
11:50and it turned
11:51into a brutal murder.
