Mayiladuthurai police have arrested three men—S Saranraj, R Vijay, and V Vadivelan—in connection with the murder of 34-year-old cook M Mohammed Haliq. The attack occurred on June 24 outside a wedding hall while the victim was conversing with friends. Haliq, a resident of Needur, succumbed to his injuries the following day.

All three accused were produced before the court and remanded to judicial custody as the investigation continues.
