Bhopal: The macabre mystery surrounding human remains discovered in a sack in the Kolar area remains unsolved, with police now banking on a small piece of cloth for identification. The partial, highly decomposed body—a leg, bones from another leg, and an arm bone—was recovered from a waterlogged basement on August 7th. Crucially, the head and torso are still missing.
Dupatta offers First Lead
Since immediate identification was impossible, investigators are focusing on a dupatta (scarf) found with the remains, which bears the name of a company, “Deep Tex.” Police are actively tracing the company’s distributors and retailers to establish a chain of custody and potentially identify the victim.
A panel of doctors confirmed the remains belong to an adult, though the advanced state of decomposition prevents determining the gender. Body parts have been sent for DNA analysis to confirm the victim’s sex and identity.
Four Teams Scour for Clues
Four separate teams from Kolar Police Station are working around the clock, scrutinizing missing person reports in Bhopal and neighboring districts. They are meticulously reviewing old CCTV footage for suspicious activity and conducting search operations in nearby areas for the missing body parts. The police are leaving no stone unturned as they attempt to unravel this shocking crime.
