Sahil Goyal, brother of Siya Goyal, has come under police scrutiny over his possible involvement in the murder of Ketan Agarwal. Investigators are examining whether Sahil knew about the relationship between Siya and Chetan beforehand and deliberately kept it hidden from the family.

Sahil maintained that Siya appeared happy and was actively preparing for her wedding with Ketan, describing how she spent hours planning her pre-wedding photoshoot, picking songs, choosing locations, and discussing details with Ketan over long video calls. He acknowledged that Siya seemed conflicted about her bond with Chetan. "She told me they were friends and that she enjoyed his company. She was confused about the nature of the relationship. I tried to explain to her that sometimes people confuse friendship for love, but it's okay. It happens at a young age. I did not tell anyone about it as she herself was not sure. And she told me she wanted to move ahead with Ketan," he said.
Police are now trying to determine whether Sahil played an active role in helping Siya and Chetan plan the crime, or whether he simply stayed silent despite being aware of what was unfolding. This development has shifted the investigation's focus from a straightforward murder case to a suspected pre-planned conspiracy, with Sahil's testimony seen as potentially key to piecing together the full sequence of events.
Sources reiterate that Sahil has not been officially named an accused. He was questioned for over 10 hours on Monday, during which his statement was recorded.
Ketan Agarwal was allegedly murdered by his fiancée, Siya Goyal, and her "lover," Chetan, at Lohagad Fort on June 18. Both Siya and Chetan are currently in police custody and are reported to have confessed to the crime.
Though not yet named an accused, Sahil broke his silence in an interview with news portal NewsDotz, claiming that Siya had told him she intended to marry Ketan and wanted nothing more to do with Chetan. "Siya told me that she wanted to spend her life with Ketan and didn't want anything to do with Chetan. She assured me that there was nothing between them," he said. He explained that he never informed their parents about Siya and Chetan because he believed the two were "just friends." "She swore on her life that she would only marry Ketan and have no contact with Chetan. So, I did not tell anyone about Siya and Chetan," he added.
However, police sources told NDTV that the investigation has revealed a different picture: that Siya had, in fact, expressed reluctance to marry Ketan and had confided this to Sahil. Investigators also suspect Sahil was aware of the Siya-Chetan relationship but chose to stay quiet about it.

Adding to the suspicion, the driver who took Siya to the airport for the pre-wedding shoot has testified that Sahil allegedly forced Siya into the car when she initially refused to go. Investigators are also looking into Sahil's silence and inaction after Ketan's passport was torn ahead of the couple's planned trip to Bali, and are cross-checking his statements against these developments.
