Skeletal remains were found lying close to ‘Raja-wala’ pond located on the border of Jahajgarh and Vazirpur villages under Beri sub-division here on Friday evening.

The district authorities swung into action on getting the information and sent a team, including forensic experts, veterinary surgeons and doctors of Civil Hospital, to the spot on Saturday. The authorities also called a team of the Department of Archaeology and Museum for inspection.

The matter came to the fore when some villagers spotted the skeletal remains and informed other villagers who later approached the Beri police. The police visited the spot and apprised higher authorities in this respect.

“It is yet to be ascertained whether the remains belong to humans or animals. We are taking all precautionary measures and no villageris now being allowed to visit the spot,” said Rahul Narwal, Beri SDM.

Meanwhile, some villagers informed that Raja Wala Pond was many centuries old and animals were cremated around the pond in ancient times.
