A 30-year-old human skeleton was dug up from the courtyard of a house in a village in Uttar Pradesh’s Hathras district after a man alleged his mother and two brothers had killed their father and hid his remains in the house.
Budhh Singh went missing in 1994 and was never found, according to his son Punjabi Singh who lodged the complaint. The skeleton was recovered in Gilondpur village under the limits of the Mursaan police station limits in Hathras on Thursday.
Following the orders of DM Pandey, excavation work began in the presence of Hathras Police on Thursday, September 26, and a skeleton was found.
Speaking about the incident, a senior official of the Hathras Police said the skeleton was found in his house during the excavation, after which it was sent for postmortem and DNA testing.
“No police complaint has been filed yet. Further action will be taken based on the DNA report,” he added.
Budhh Singh was a farmer married to Urmila. The couple had four sons — Pradeep, Mukesh, Bastiram and Punjabi Singh. The man went missing from his house in 1994 and was never found.
