In a twist in the murder of the Pune realtor, the father of one of the accused, Chetan Chaudhary, has alleged that his son is not involved in the case.
Chetan, who is believed to be Siya Goyal's boyfriend, has been accused of helping Goyal plan the murder of 25-year-old Ketan Agarwal.
Babulal Chaudhary, Chetan's father, has refuted the allegations against his son and told HT that Chetan is being framed in the case.
"Chetan told me that he was staying away from them at the fort. He is being framed by the so-called wealthy people. Siya and Chetan were good friends, and to save herself, she implicated my son," he told HT.
However, speaking to news agency ANI, the father stated that Chetan's family had no idea who Siya was.
"We have never seen the girl in question and know absolutely nothing about her. In fact, I only found out her name, Siya, yesterday; I have never seen her before," he told ANI.
Chetan's uncle, Udayram Chaudhary, also spoke to ANI and stated that Chetan is "innocent."
"Chetan is completely innocent in this matter. The media is hyping this up and showing a one-sided view on Instagram, but Chetan is not involved in it. Chetan is a sportsman and a very straightforward person. There has never been a single complaint against him from anyone in the market," he said.
