Three persons have been detained in connection with the fatal assault, which seems like a fallout of political rivalry, the police said.

The attack, involving about half-a-dozen people, took place past Thursday midnight at around 12.30 am when the deceased was with his friend in the Budhwar Peth area in the heart of the city, the police said.
