"Three people involved in his killing were identified through CCTV footage and we will arrest them soon," a police official said.

With the Bihar assembly polls round the corner, Bharatiya Janata Party leaders, including local legislator Nitin Navin, have linked the incident to the deteriorating state of law and order in Patna and across the state.
