Two of the accused - Ritesh Kumar and Pawan Kumar, both friends of the deceased - have been arrested, while the third, victim's brother-in-law, is absconding. The case has been registered on the complaint of the victim's mother, who told the police that her son had left home on the evening of December 21, saying he was going to a friend's house and would return shortly.
