Three labourers from Odisha arrested for killing their colleague after he apparently refused to hand over his phone to one of them to make a call, an official told news agency PTI on Thursday.

The police began an investigation after a man's body was found with multiple injuries in a pond in Ambernath, on the outskirts of Mumbai, on September 4. He was identified as Lalji Sahay (32), a construction worker, reported PTI.
