Haryana police arrested three more accused in the murder of dairy operator Jeevan Kundu, taking total arrests to seven. The accused, including key suspect Gajendra alias Gaju Pandit, were detained a day after khap panchayats and farmer unions gave the Hisar police an ultimatum to arrest all culprits by August 13 or face protests at toll plazas and disruption of the chief minister's programme. Kundu was beaten to death by 12-15 men with sticks and rods on August 4 while collecting cow dung. Police have announced a reward of Rs 50,000 for information leading to the arrest of the main accused, Ramesh Sharma. Ten special teams are conducting raids across states, and look-out circulars have been issued.
