"Sacks carrying a large number of human bones and other remains were found from a room in the police lines," District Magistrate Abhay Kumar Singh said.

Singh said that he has asked the city magistrate to constitute a team to probe the matter and submit a report within a week. "Around 5,793 post mortem examinations were carried out in the room from 1950 till date, and the remains were not disposed of," the DM said.
