Claim
Siya and Chetan deliberately and carefully chose Lohagad fort as the location to kill Ketan.
“सिया और चेतन ने केतन को मारने के लिए लोहगढ़ किले का चुनाव काफी सोच समझ कर किया।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
The claim matches the police version of the Ketan Agarwal murder case as widely reported by multiple outlets before the July 2 broadcast: investigators say the accused searched online for killing methods, allegedly made a prior attempt/rehearsal around June 14, and deliberately selected Lohagad fort's cliff for the June 18 killing, with crime-scene reconstruction reinforcing the premeditation theory. However, as of the broadcast date this premeditation is a police allegation in an ongoing investigation, not a court-established fact, so confidence is moderate. No dedicated fact-checks from AltNews, BOOM, Factly, Newschecker, or PIB were found on this specific claim.
