The main motive behind the murder of the two brothers has not been determined so far.
The Nangarhar government said investigation is in progress and search operation to detain the perpetrators of the incident is also underway.
This comes as there has been increased in ratio of criminal incidents across the country.

However, some murder cases also take place due to personal enmity and clash of interests which results in violent clashes.
