In the FIR, the complainants accused the neighbours of beating the couple to death and dumping the body in the forest.
About three months ago, the couple had a quarrel with their neighbours, who used to abuse the victims frequently over petty issues, and the victims had gone missing a few days later.
Police said no arrest was made in this regard as the accused were absconding.
A manhunt has been launched to apprehend them, the police officer said, adding that the skeletons have been sent to the forensic laboratory.
