Roshni was kidnapped by three men with muffled faces on November 11 when her grandfather Ran Dares Singh was perambulating in front of their house, with herself in a stroller, in Saffron Enclave of Khothran village.
The trio were arrested at a police check post when they were coming on a motorcycle from Munna village side. They tried to flee but were overpowered, said police.
Those arrested have been identified as Goel Kumar alias Gori, Harman Kumar alias Happy, and Rishi. They confessed that the girl who was taken to village Nadalon from Khothran, was strangulated on the same day as she did not stop crying.
