Police say Ketan Agarwal died after being pushed from Lohagad Fort.

At first, his death looked like an accidental fall.

Investigators later said it was planned.

They accuse his fiancée, Siya Goyal, Chetan Chaudhary and Ritesh Hange of helping plan the killing.

Police say Siya and Chetan searched online for ways to kill someone and hide evidence.

They also studied the earlier death of law student Mansi Govindpurkar at the same fort.

Police allege they chose Lohagad so Agarwal’s death would look accidental.

The chargesheet says the accused considered other methods, including hiring a contract killer.

These are allegations in a police chargesheet that will be considered by the court.
