Four human skulls and a few bones were found at a garbage bin on the road adjoining the KSRTC bus stand on Wednesday morning.

An autorickshaw driver saw the skulls and bones abandoned near the dust bin and informed the police. By the time the police could arrive at the spot, a large number of people had gathered at the spot. The Barke police collected the skulls and bones in a plastic bag and took them away.

In June, 2011, skulls and bones were found near a garbage bin in Morgans Gate. In February 2008, skulls and bones had been found at a construction site in Old Kent Road.

Forensic examination

Commissioner of Police Seemant Kumar Singh said the skulls and bones would be sent for forensic examination to know whether these were used by medical students. Forensic experts had given a report that the skulls and bones found at the Morgans Gate were indeed used for studies by medical students. Mr. Singh said it would be difficult to find persons who had dumped the skulls and bones.
