The four arrested accused have been identified as real estate dealer Mangilal Thakur, Vikas Chauhan, Sawan Khode and Suresh Singh, Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) Santosh Kumar Singh told reporters.
A local lawyers' association and police had announced separate cash rewards on the heads of the alleged killers.
