Vadgaon Maval court on July 3, 2026, remanded Siya Goyal and Chetan Chaudhary to 14 days judicial custody in the Ketan Agarwal murder case, rejecting Lonavala Rural Police's request for two more days of police custody. Police sought custody to verify digital evidence and statement discrepancies. Defence argued investigation had proceeded sufficiently without further custody extension.
