Dhanraj
A police team led by Payyanur circle inspector V Ramesh made the arrests.
Dhanaraj was hacked to death by a gang on the night of July 11 in the presence of his family members.
Within a few hours of the murder, BMS activist C K Ramachandran was murdered at his house by another gang in retaliation. The accused in this case are yet to be traced.
There was another murder attempt on Dhanaraj in the past, the investigation team has learnt.
Though it is widely believed that political rivalry could be the reason for the murder of Dhanaraj, police are investigating the case from other angles also.
The arrested persons will be produced in court on Monday July 18.
