Based on a tip-off, the police on Saturday apprehended the accused from Surat in neighbouring Gujarat, senior inspector Kailas Barve said.

The accused had fled the scene after attacking the victim, who died on the spot. The trio, who were planning to escape to Bihar, were arrested in Surat, the official said.
