Ketan’s family said wedding preparations were in full swing, with a grand ceremony planned in Jaipur. They had also arranged a pre-wedding holiday to Bali.
According to relatives, the trip had to be cancelled after Siya claimed she had lost her passport. Police now allege she deliberately tore up and threw away her passport at a hotel washroom to prevent the journey from taking place.
The family also revealed that Ketan had booked around 40 rooms at a luxury resort in Mahabaleshwar to celebrate Siya’s birthday before the wedding. They said they were devastated to learn that his death was allegedly the result of a planned murder rather than an accident.
Digital Evidence Changed the Investigation
Investigators said the direction of the case changed after they noticed inconsistencies in Siya’s statements during questioning.
Police examined mobile phone records, social media activity and other digital evidence, which they believe strengthened the case against the accused.
The investigation is continuing, and police are working to gather additional evidence before filing the chargesheet. Authorities have urged the public not to speculate while the legal process moves forward.
