In a brutal murder, a man was killed and his body dumped in the empty water tank of a building, after the four accused covered it with 25 kg salt, so that it wouldn’t smell. The police arrested three of them on Monday, after bringing them back from Bihar, where they hailed from the same village as the victim. The fourth person who was arrested, is from Karnataka.

The police said Raju Chaupal, 23, was allegedly in a relationship with the main accused’s wife. He was killed on May 13 and his body found on Sunday.
