Police Reveal Signal Used in Pune Realtor Murder
In a chilling revelation, Pune police have disclosed that the accused in the murder of a realtor used a pre-planned signal involving tying shoelaces to execute the fatal push. The prime accused, Siya Goyal, and her accomplice Chaudhary had allegedly decided that she would sit down either to drink water or on the pretext of tying her shoelaces. Sitting down was the signal for Chaudhary to push the victim, according to police sources.
Details of the Crime
The murder took place on June 26, 2026, in the Kharadi area of Pune. The victim, a 45-year-old real estate developer, was pushed from a height during a meeting with Goyal and Chaudhary. Police investigations revealed that the duo had meticulously planned the murder, with Goyal's sitting down serving as the cue for Chaudhary to act. The police have recovered CCTV footage that corroborates the sequence of events.
Arrest and Investigation
Siya Goyal and her accomplice Chaudhary were arrested on June 27. During interrogation, they confessed to the crime and detailed the signal system. According to a police official, "Goyal and Chaudhary had rehearsed the plan multiple times. The shoelace signal was chosen to avoid suspicion." The motive is believed to be a financial dispute over a property deal gone wrong.
Impact and Legal Proceedings
The case has sent shockwaves through the real estate community in Pune. The accused have been remanded to police custody until July 5. Legal experts say the premeditated nature of the crime could lead to stringent charges, including murder and conspiracy. The police are also probing if there were other accomplices involved.
