The arrested persons have been identified as Mohammed Shahabuddin, the girl's elder brother and his friend Nawaz.
Shahabuddin is said to have assaulted the victim earlier too, and had threatened him to stay away from his sister.
Based on the complaint filed by the victim's mother, a case was registered against the arrested under Sections of IPC including 302 (murder) and the SC/ST Atrocities (Prevention) Act.
