The family alleged that the youths were kidnapped on Wednesday, and 22 hours later the skeletons were found on Thursday, 200 kms away from Bharatpur.

"This could be a matter related to cow smuggling," the sources added.
Police and FSL teams are investigating further. The DNA samples have been collected and will be sent soon once it is decided if Rajasthan or Haryana governments will probe, said sources.
Junaid and Naseer were drivers, said SHO Ram Naresh Meena. One Ismael, friends of the duo lodged a missing complaint on Wednesday night that on Wednesday morning when the duo left Bharatpur, they were attacked by Bajrang Dal leaders.
