On the motive behind the killings, he said the ultras might have killed the duo suspecting them to be police informers, but added that exact cause behind the killing is not known.

The duo were reportedly abducted along with another villager Raju from their native place Toyanar in Pakhnar area, located around 350 kms away from the state capital, he said.
 

Raju, who was set free by ultras today, told villagers that Manglu and Pandu were killed by abductors with sharp-edged weapons, the police officer said.
