Who Is Chetan Chaudhary's Friend Ritesh? Arrested, Accused Of Helping Siya Plot Ketan's Murder

Police say Ritesh Hange was involved in the murder conspiracy and is the third person arrested in the case.

  • On Saturday, Pune Police arrested 22-year-old Ritesh Hange in connection with the June murder of realtor Ketan Agarwal at Lohagad Fort. Hange is the third suspect apprehended, following Agarwal's fiancée Siya Goyal and her lover Chetan Choudhary.
  • Investigators allege Goyal and Choudhary conspired to kill Agarwal because they viewed him as an obstacle to their relationship. The pair initially discussed injuring the realtor to delay their marriage before deciding to eliminate him.
  • Pune Rural Superintendent of Police Sandip Singh Gill said Hange was involved in the murder conspiracy. An officer stated Hange knew of plans to "injure Ketan by breaking his hands and legs" before Choudhary contacted him after the murder.
  • The conspirators explored several locations, including Tiger Point and Visapur Fort, before selecting Lohagad Fort to push Agarwal off a cliff, attempting to disguise the homicide as an accident.
  • Authorities are currently questioning Hange to gather information about his role and potential involvement of others. Police continue investigating the case, which was initially misidentified as an accident before being reclassified as a homicide.
