The incident was reported from Hirapara Gendheletari in Ramdia, creating panic and outrage among local residents.
According to reports, the victim, identified as Munindra Deka alias Chikna, had been missing since May 3. After failing to trace him, family members lodged a missing complaint at Ramdia Police Outpost.
During the investigation, police detained two brothers from Majarkuri in Ramdia — Raju Deka and Mridul Deka — on suspicion and brought them in for questioning.
