Bihar: Shocking! Around 16 human skulls and 34 skeletal remains found at Chapra Railway Station; one held
In a shocking incident, human skeletal remains and skulls have been recovered in huge quantity from the railway junction in Chhapra. Bihar police have arrested one person arrested in this connection.
The Deputy Superintendent of Police (Railway) Tanveer Ahmed said the skeletal remains were recovered on Monday from the man, identified as Sanjay Prasad. The 29-year-old Sanjay Prasad is a resident of East Champaran district, who was caught by a GRP team at Chhapra Junction.
Altogether around 16 human skulls and 34 other skeletal remains were recovered from the possession of Prasad, besides some Bhutanese currency, ATM cards of various countries and a foreign SIM, DSP Ahmed said.
During interrogation, Prasad revealed that he had brought these skeletal remains from Ballia in neighbouring Uttar Pradesh and was on his way to Bhutan via Jalpaiguri in the adjoining West Bengal, the Deputy SP said.
Apparently, Prasad was part of a gang which supplied human skeletons to occultists in the Himalayan Kingom. He has been sent to jail while further investigation was on to trace his accomplices, he added.
