In Pune, the family of Siya Goyal — accused of murdering realtor Ketan Agarwal at Lohagad Fort in June — now faces a separate reckoning, as Maharashtra's Food and Drug Administration has shuttered their spice shop for regulatory violations and seized over four tonnes of goods. The closure is administratively distinct from the criminal case, yet it illustrates how a single act of alleged violence can unravel the lives of everyone connected to it, guilty or not.
