Seoni, MP, Dec 17 (UNI) Three youths were arrested today for burning a tribal alive in this district's Sillaur village folowing a land-related dispute.

''Mansu Kumre came to settle at Sillaur from Chhindwara district's Parasia. For the past four years, he was having a legal battle with Kamruddin. Recently, Kamruddin's sons Sulzar Khan, Shamsher and Gulzar reached Kumre's farm, doused him in kerosene and set him alight. The victim sustained 90 per cent burns and succumbed in the district hospital,'' Superintendent of Police R K Marathe said today.
