Pune businessman Ketan Vishal Agarwal's fiancée Siya Goyal and her boyfriend Chetan Choudhary frequently searched online for methods to kill someone, and spoke to each other over the phone 2,004 times between January 1 and June 18, before allegedly pushing him to death off the Lohagad Fort, investigators revealed on Wednesday.
The duo exchanged 2,004 phone calls and spent around 238 hours speaking to each other during the last six months. Some of the calls lasted for more than 2 to 3 hours.
The probe has also revealed that on the day of the incident, Goyal and Chaudhary allegedly met at a cafe before heading to Lohagad Fort and discussed the plan to eliminate Agarwal.
Pune rural police officers said the murder appeared premeditated, with Siya and Choudhary allegedly using their mobile phones to search online for methods to kill Ketan.
Ketan Agarwal (25) was a director in his family firm, Success Group, which is one of the largest developers of warehouses across Maharashtra. In February this year he got engaged to Siya Goyal, 20, with his maternal uncle playing matchmaker, and were set to wed this November for which hotels had been booked at Udaipur.
Both Siya and Chetan have been arrested on charges of murder and conspiracy under sections 103 and 61(2) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
