Kishtwar Police and Army (8RR) traced out the two youths, Ashiq Hussain (25) and Akther Hussain (21), reportedly missing from the Keshwan area of the Kishtwar district since April 12.
They were found in Keshwan itself on the intervening night of April 15-16, Police spokesman said.
On April 12th, the family members of the youth apprehended that perhaps they have been forcibly taken away by militants to be inducted into the folds of militancy.
All possible areas where they could hide were cordoned off by Police and Army, he said, adding, finally they have been traced in Keshwan area.
The duos have been put on questioning which didn't corroborate with the version of their family members, police said, adding, the matter of the missing youths will be investigated thoroughly to ascertain the full facts.
