The victims have been named as Pramod Kushwaha and his son Priyanshu Kushwaha, both residents of Belghat.
As reported by local sources, the pair had stepped out for errands on Thursday afternoon and failed to return home by late evening.
Concerned about their absence, the family initiated a search, leading to the shocking discovery around 4 a.m. on Friday, where both were found unconscious along the road.
Upon receiving the alert, police promptly arrived at the scene and recovered a motorcycle along with three empty cartridges found nearby.
