Panaji: The North Goa (Bicholim) police are clueless about the corpse of a 60-year-old man, Karim Ahmed Attar, which went missing from a Muslim burial ground in Sankhali, North Goa, on Saturday.

Speaking to The Hindu on Sunday, a Bicholim police station official said an investigation was on in the case, but no progress has been made yet.

Police inspector Narayan Chimulkar, Bicholim police station, had said, “Attar’s family had gone to the graveyard ten days after the burial, to perform some rituals, where they saw the body of the deceased was missing.”

Upon receiving the complaint, the police pressed a dog squad into service. A set of gloves were found in the area.
