As Pune Police intensify their investigation into the alleged murder of 26-year-old businessman Ketan Agarwal, forensic gait analysis has emerged as a key scientific tool that could help investigators identify the accused despite attempts to conceal his identity on CCTV.
Police are planning to compare CCTV footage from Lohagad Fort, where Agarwal died after being allegedly pushed off a cliff by his 20-year-old fiancee, Siya Goyal, and her lover, Chetan Chaudhary, on June 18.
While examining the CCTV footage, the police had noticed 22-year-old Chaudhary, who was wearing shorts and a hoodie, tailing Ketan and Siya on the trek to the fort.
Investigators will now recreate a walk by Chaudhary and believe the exercise could establish whether the person captured on surveillance cameras is the accused.
