Residents stated that the brothers had left their village nearly a year ago, and their whereabouts had remained unknown since then.

In another development, amotorcycle believed to belong to the brothers was reportedly found parked near the Birupa River two days ago. When no one came forward to claim the vehicle, local police took it into custody.
