Barpeta, March 5: Three persons, who reportedly killed a father-son duo on Wednesday night and then tried to pass it off as a road accident, were arrested by the police on Sunday night.
According to available information, one Abdul Mannan and his son Abdul Rezzak died in an ostensible motorcycle accident on February 26 at Jaypur near Howly in Barpeta district.
