The suspects, originally from Bhagalpur, Bihar, were apprehended after being identified through CCTV footage and a social media tip-off.
According to a press briefing by the Superintendent of Police of Papumpare Taru Gusar,  the suspects posed as cleaners to gain access to the residence of one Yamhan Digli and Genia Digli.
