The story so far: A Pune court has extended the custody of Siya Goyal and Chetan Chaudhary, the two accused in the Ketan Agarwal murder case, until July 3, 2026. The court acquiesced to the investigators, who said several aspects of the probe are ongoing, including a forensic study of Mr. Chaudhary’s gait. According to media reports, the police plan to compare the way he walks with CCTV footage showing a hooded individual near the crime scene at Lohagad Fort, arguing that the analysis could help determine whether the person in the footage was Mr. Chaudhary.

Gait analysis is the scientific study of how a human walks or runs. Walking (or running) is a complex activity where the body has to coordinate continuously between muscles, bones, and the nervous system. Gait analysis breaks down these activities to piece together how a particular person walks.
