The investigation into the alleged murder of Pune realtor Ketan Agarwal has taken another twist after Siya Goyal’s lawyer argued that any confession made by his client while in police custody cannot be treated as admissible evidence in court. The remarks come days after police claimed that Goyal and co-accused Chetan Chaudhary confessed to plotting Ketan’s murder and recreated the crime scene at Lohagad Fort.
