Siya Goyal’s fate: A murder charge is one thing, proving it is another

Pune police allege a murder plot involving a fiancée and her boyfriend. Investigators claim they conspired to kill her fiancé by pushing him off a cliff. The case relies heavily on circumstantial evidence, which must be proven conclusively. Confessions made to police are generally inadmissible unless they lead to new evidence. The prosecution must establish an unbroken chain of evidence to secure a conviction.
