Pune Rural Police recreated the Ketan Agarwal murder scene at Lohagad Fort in Maharashtra after arresting his fiancée, Siya Goyal, and her alleged lover, Chetan Chaudhary.
Police allege Agarwal, a Pune-based businessman, was pushed into a gorge at the fort on June 18 after initially appearing to have died in an accidental fall.
Outlook, citing Press Trust of India, reported that police took Goyal to the fort on June 28 for crime-scene reconstruction. Police said Chaudhary would be taken separately.
Investigators allege Goyal and Chaudhary conspired to kill Agarwal because she did not want to proceed with their planned marriage, according to multiple Indian reports.
