There may be some obvious similarities, but the police have enough reasons to believe that Goyal learned from Sonam Raghuvanshi’s mistakes, coming up with an even stronger plan with more foolproof alibis, which were initially hard to break.

The New Usmanpur PS team solved the case within 18 hours.

Siya, aged 20, and Chetan, aged 22, are accused of conspiring to kill Ketan, who was Siya's fiancé, by pushing him to his death from a cliff at Lohagad Fort near Pune on June 18.

Addressing locals, family members, and friends gathered for the march at Belmondo Society on the outskirts of Pune, Vishal Agarwal said several people had witnessed the incident, as well as the moments leading up to and following it, but had not yet approached the authorities.

Ketan and Siya, who got engaged in February, were scheduled to fly to Bali on June 6 for a pre-wedding photoshoot. Four people were travelling together, but the trip was abruptly called off when Ketan discovered his passport was missing after arriving at Mumbai airport.

According to the Karnataka Police, the accused — Shwetha and her boyfriend Kenneth — had been living together at the apartment for the past two months despite opposition from her family over their inter-faith relationship.

Bhageerath had also lodged a complaint, alleging that the girl, who had got acquainted with him, had invited him to family functions and group gatherings.

Police said 166 persons have so far been arrested and jailed in connection with the case.

The case dates back to January 20, 1995, when 13-year-old Sandeep Bansal, the son of a businessman from Northeast Delhi, was abducted.

Authorities suspect the group to be part of the notorious “Sahibganj gang,” an inter-state network known for targeting crowded public events.

According to police, the two developed a relationship over time and would frequently meet at various locations across Visakhapatnam, including parks and theatres.

Detectives currently suspect the motive behind the massacre may have been a twisted preference for a male heir.
