Property dealer murder: 3 arrested

The Loni police today arrested three persons for allegedly murdering a property dealer, and recovered arms and ammunition from their possession.

SHO Loni Kotwali Avdhesh Pratap Singh said acting on a tip-off, the trio -- Nafees, Jaaul and Asrat -- were nabbed from Khazoori Pushta road.

One 9mm pistol and its three cartridges, two .315 caliber country made pistols with four live cartridges and a motorbike were recovered from their possession.

Those arrested were the main culprits, while nine others, accused of hatching the criminal conspiracy, were still at large, Singh said.
