"The two engineers were killed near Shivram village under Baheri police station," a district police official said, adding both were engaged in road repair work.
Taking serious note of the incident, Bihar Police Chief P K Thakur held a meeting with top police officials.
Six suspected people were detained in this connection, police said.
