BAREILLY: Shahjahanpur police has arrested three persons, including two minors aged 16 and 17 years, for killing a 20-year-old youth whose body was found on October 10.


According to police, after Arun Singh’s body was found in the fairground, they registered an FIR against unidentified persons. During the investigation, they came to know about the role of Raj Kumar and the teenagers in the crime.
