Himanshu's body with injury marks on neck was found in a field yesterday, a day after he went missing, Circle Officer Rajiv Kumar Singh said.
The family members of the victim protested and initially refused to handover the body for post-mortem, he said.
They were demanding immediate arrest of three men - Mohit, Subham and Arun, accusing them of killing Himanshu over some financial dispute, Singh said.
Later the police pacified the irate family members and sent the body for post-mortem examination, the officer said.
