They seemed to be around 40-45 years and there were no identity cards on them… The only thing we found from around them was a bottle bearing a sticker ‘Jallad’, which seems to be a pesticide bottle,” a senior officer said.
“We are checking the CCTV footage of the area and of the club to see where the couple could have come from. We have alerted all police stations across state to look in their missing persons files…,” the senior officer said. ens
