Kota, Apr 28 (PTI) Three men were arrested Monday in connection with the gunning down of a 20-year-old videographer in Jhalwar's Dug town last week, police said.
The key accused in the case has been identified as 29-year-old Sohail Khan, and his aides as 22-year-old Faizal Khan alias Hidayat – both residents of Dug town – and Farukh, 29, of Gangdhar from Ring Road in Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh, Jhalawar Suprintendent of Police Richa Tomar said.
On April 24, Shambhu Singh, a Dug resident, died of a gunshot fired from a car, with two persons inside it.
Singh had had a row with the car occupants after his vehicle hit theirs and they followed him to the Meghwal Mohalla where he was shooting a wedding, Deputy Superintendent of Police Jai Prakash Atal had then said.

Around half a dozen other policemen sustained minor wounds in the confrontation with the mob.
Police arrested the accused from Ujjain on the basis of CCTV footage, the SP said.
