Skeleton further in just 2 months in East Burdwan

A human skeleton was exhumed from a farmland inside the Bhalki Machan forests today that sparked off sensation in Guskara civic town areas of East Burdwan today.

The farmland labourers engaged by a cultivator for mass harvesting of his crops, were trying to excavate earth for laying a temporary road for transportation.

During this, the body parts of the human skeleton appeared from an earthen heap, the police was told by the labourers. The police from local Ausgram Police Station in Katwa then seized the skeletal remains and sent those for forensic investigation to help identification of the deceased person.

The police, incidentally had recovered parts of a human skeleton from a wetland in East Burdwan's Kalna on last 22 September evening, which had triggered claims that those belonged to a youth who had been missing for the past three months.

Arjun Ghosh, a resident of the Rajbanshi Para area in Satgachhia Panchayat in Kalna, first discovered the human ribcage in a wetland while working for agricultural purposes. Later, he found a skull and a part of a leg a few meters away. He also noticed a bicycle partly buried in the slushy mud.
