Gurugram, Jun 10 (PTI) Three people have been arrested for allegedly killing a caretaker of a paying guest accommodation here following an argument over Rs 2,000, police said on Tuesday.
     The accused were identified as Rahul (20), Suraj (23) and Bittu (31). They were arrested from the Delhi-Jhajjar bypass road on Monday, police said.
     On June 5, a man was found dead in a room in Shri Syam PG in Jat colony, Farrukhnagar. The police reached the spot and the deceased was identified as Narender alias Tota. He used to work as a caretaker in the same PG, police said.

     Then on June 5, Narendra was found dead in a PG room. Based on his complaint, an FIR was registered at Farrukhnagar police station.
