The duo, wanted for multiple violent incidents in the region, voluntarily gave themselves up at a local police station under the supervision of senior officials.
Police said the surrender is a positive step toward restoring peace and reducing insurgency in affected districts. The couple has been cooperating with authorities since surrendering, and investigations into their past activities are underway.
