Mayur Keshav Datir died on the spot after he was attacked by three men with sharp weapons at Ambad village, about 60 km from the district headquarters, on Thursday afternoon, the official told the PTI.
The murder led to a protest by local residents in Nashik who demanded strict action against those behind the crime.
The police then arrested three persons, identified as Karan Kaduskar (21), Mukesh Magar (25) and Ravindra Aher (28), all from Ambad.
The trio had demanded money from Datir to buy liquor. They attacked him after he apparently rejected their demand, the official said.
Kaduskar is a history sheeter and faces cases like murder, robbery and break-in. The other two also have a criminal past, the official added.
Meanwhile, in an another incident, the Palghar Police have arrested a man in Wada taluka of Maharashtra's Palghar district for allegedly strangulating his 32-year-old wife to death suspecting her character, an official said, reported the PTI.
The offence took place on Thursday afternoon, he said.
"The couple lived in Dhanvepada in the district. The man doubted the woman's character, which triggered frequent fights between them," the police official told the PTI.
"Losing his temper during one such fight on Thursday, the 39-year-old man stranguled his wife," he said.
After the police were alerted about it, a team went to the spot and sent the woman's body to a government hospital for post-mortem and later arrested her husband on the charge of killing her, according to the PTI.
