Even as the police were grappling with the unearthing of over 100 human skeletons in Unnao, reports of similar recoveries came from Bahraich, Gorakhpur and Moradabad districts on Sunday.
In Bahraich, scores of sacks containing human remains and viscera have been found in a room in police lines area, District Magistrate Abhay Kumar Singh said.

He has asked the city magistrate to set up a team to probe the matter and submit a report within a week. “5,793 post-mortem examinations were carried out in the room from 1950 till date, and the remains were not disposed of,” Mr. Singh said.
A heap of human bones and containers carrying viscera were recovered near old post mortem house in Gorakhpur, an official said.
A similar recovery was made in Moradabad too after which an inquiry has been ordered. “Viscera and bones were being stored in the old post mortem room near police lines since 1969 where an intelligence office has been constructed,” Chief Medical Officer Gorakhpur P.K. Mishra said. — PTI
