While the discovery has left the area tense, with residents eager for answers, police of Churaibari police station led by second OC Pritimoy Chakma hurried to the scene.

In the presence of Executive Magistrate, they recovered the bones and skull. The remains were then transported to the morgue at Dharmanagar District Hospital for further investigation.

Talking to the reporters, Second OC Pritimoy Chakma indicated that the skeletal remains appear to belong to an adult and can be two to three years old.
