Three men have been apprehended for allegedly killing the 23-year-old nephew of a Congress corporator and burying his body at an isolated place in Chhattisgarh’s Raipur city, police said on Saturday.
The police on Friday detained three men for the murder of Wahazuddin alias Babu, who had been reported missing since September 25, an official said.
The incident took place on September 25 at WRS Colony under Khamtarai police station limits, and it came to light on Friday evening when the victim’s body was exhumed and the trio were detained, he said.
