A large number of people gathered today afternoon in Madhuban after bones from a human skeleton were found lying on the corner of a road near Municipal Corporation’s dustbin.

The bones were first spotted by a scientist cum consultant, Sunil Dubey. Sunil, a wild life expert, immediately called the police on seeing the skeleton. Prima facia it appears that the bones might have been disposed by some laboratory where the bones might have been kept for display. These speculations are being made since the bones seem very old and very well polished, said Dubey.

Dubey further informed that after the hip bone points that the skeleton is of an adult woman.

It may be noted that certain laboratories are given permission to keep human bones for display purposes. These laboratories are then mandated to have proper documentation and handling over the bones to concerned authorities when they finally decide to dispose the skeleton. It is speculated that the culprits might have thrown away the bones to stay away from the documentation or might not have had the permission in the first case.

Dy SP Murli Dhar informed that a case has been registered under section 297 of IPC against unknown accused and investigations have been started.
