The conflict began on June 16 in Karnaprayag, Chamoli, after a group of Nihang Sikh pilgrims allegedly attacked locals with swords.

Pune Police are interrogating Narendra Mittal, the matchmaker between Ketan Agarwal, Siya Goyal. He arranged the meetings of the two families with the marriage proposal and was part of the discussions.

Investigators have also revealed that Chetan knew Siya’s elder brother through cricket matches. Police believe that Siya first met Chetan while accompanying her brother to the matches before they reconnected later.
