Police in Raipur have arrested three contract killers, among them a 15-year-old boy, from here, police said Friday.

Three people, who were paid to kill a cable businessman Sandeep Singh, were arrested Thursday night with arms, said Ajatshatru Bahadur Singh, additional superintendent of police (crime) of Raipur.

Two of the arrested -- Ravi Sarthi, 22, and a 15-year-old boy whose name has been withheld in compliance with the juvenile crime law -- are from Raipur town while the third, Rajesh Dongre, hails from Rajnandgaon district.

'Since the kingpin behind the conspiracy has not yet been arrested, I cannot reveal much as it may hamper the progress of the case,' the police official said, adding that a few more are likely to be arrested soon.
