They will be produced before a magistrate in the district today, an official said. Their disappearance had led to tension in the area. Ghulam Mohammad (45), a distant relative of Yusuf, was lynched by some Hindu right-wing activists, who suspected that he knew the whereabouts of the couple who had disappeared on April 27.

Ghulam’s family had alleged that the activists belonged to the Hindu Yuva Vahini, a right-wing group set up by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The Vahini, however, said none of its members was involved in the incident. The police have arrested three persons in connection with the murder.
