A 36-second-long video of two women dancing has gone viral on social media with users claiming that it features Siya Goyal, one of the accused in the alleged murder of 26-year-old Ketan Agarwal in Pune’s Lohagad Fort.

On June 23, Pune rural police arrested Siya Goyal (20) and Chetan Chaudhary (22) for allegedly murdering Goyal’s fiancé, Ketan Agarwal. They have been booked under Sections 103 (murder) and 61 (criminal conspiracy) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).

As per reports, Goyal and Chaudhary had been involved in a romantic relationship and allegedly conspired to murder Agarwal. Goyal and Agarwal went on a trek to Pune’s Lohagad Fort on June 18, where Agarwal fell nearly 400 feet into a gorge. Investigation later revealed it was not an accidental fall.

It is against this backdrop that the said video has gone viral.

X page TeluguBulletin.com (@TeluguBulletin) shared the afore mentioned clip on June 27, claiming that the video featured Goyal. The post garnered over 10,000 views. (Archive)

Another X user, @thecaspiansk, posted the video with a caption saying: “Yes she was not happy with wedding”. This post has received more than 163,000 views. (Archive)

Several other users shared the same clip and amplified the claim that the video showed Goyal dancing. Below are a few instances:

To verify this claim, we broke down the video into several keyframes and ran a reverse image search on some of them. This led us to an Instagram post shared on June 21, 2026. This post carried the same video and had been shared by user @sanikaajagtap. The user had tagged another account with the username @anushkawanii.

Social media users have misidentified Anushka Wani (@anushkawanii) as Siya Goyal, as the two women share some facial similarities. However, upon taking a look at Wani’s profile, it is clear that the video features her and not Goyal. Below is a comparison of their faces:

Therefore, the claim associated with the viral clip that it features murder accused Siya Goyal is false.
