Police investigators probing a recent murder case in Pune have disclosed that the victim, Ketan Agarwal, was the target of a planned assault prior to his death. According to reports, the suspects had allegedly formulated a scheme to break Agarwal’s bones while he was in Bengaluru.

Ketan Agarwal and his fiancée, Siya, were residents of Pune who had become engaged in February. The couple had been in the process of planning their wedding, which was scheduled to take place in Jaipur this coming November. While the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the murder remains ongoing, the revelation of a prior, failed plot in Bengaluru suggests a sustained effort by the perpetrators to target Agarwal before the final incident in Pune.

Law enforcement officials have not yet released full details regarding the motive behind the initial Bengaluru plot or how it connects to the subsequent events in Pune. The investigation is currently focused on establishing the timeline of the suspects' actions and determining the specific roles played by those involved in both the attempted assault and the eventual homicide.
