The legal dispute between Parth Srivastava and Sahil Goyal, stemming from the Ketan Agarwal murder case, introduces uncertainty into the legal proceedings surrounding Siya Goyal.

Event Summary

A significant legal dispute has erupted in the Ketan Agarwal murder case, involving advocate Parth Srivastava and Sahil Goyal, the brother of prime accused Siya Goyal. Parth Srivastava has served a Rs 10 crore defamation notice to Sahil Goyal, alleging that Sahil's public statements to media outlets like India Today, questioning Srivastava's authority to represent Siya Goyal, have severely damaged his professional reputation. Sahil Goyal had publicly claimed that Srivastava was not authorized by the family and may have obtained Siya Goyal's signature on legal documents through deceit. However, Parth Srivastava maintains that Siya Goyal, an adult, voluntarily signed a vakalatnama authorizing his legal team. The controversy intensified during a court hearing where Siya Goyal herself stated that advocate Vipul Dushing was her lawyer, not Parth Srivastava. Meanwhile, the police continue their investigation into the murder of Ketan Agarwal, seeking extended custody for Siya Goyal and co-accused Arslan Chaudhary to recover digital evidence, verify events, and confront them with new witnesses.
