They were arrested, but were later released after they secured anticipatory bail from a local court, they said.
East Khasi Hills district SP M Kharkrang said the trio, who were involved in the crime on February 27, had absconded but surrendered at Mawlai PS with an interim pre-arrest bail from the court.
The accused have been identified as Ringlan Ngashangva, Saramwung Raikhan and Aaron Lungleng, all hailing from Ukhrul district of Manipur.
