We define R_l^*(n) as the number of overpartitions of n in which non-overlined parts are not divisible by l. In a recent work, Nath, Saikia, and the second author established several families of congruences for R_l^*(n), with particular focus on the cases l=6 and l=8. In the concluding remarks of their paper, they conjectured that R_6^*(n) satisfies an infinite family of congruences modulo 128. In this paper, we confirm their conjectures using elementary methods. Additionally, we provide elementary proofs of two congruences for R_6^*(n) previously proven via the machinery of modular forms by Alanazi, Munagi, and Saikia.
