11 human skeletons seized in Rajshahi

Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) seized 11 human skeletons in the frontier village of Char Majardiar in Paba upazila of Rajshahi yesterday.

During a patrol, a team of Rajshah BGB Battalion-1 found the skeletons abandoned there, said Nayeb Subeder Arshad Ali, who was leading the team.

The skeletons, which were found in 15 separate sacks, are worth around Tk 1.59 lakh, he said.

They suspect that a group of smugglers, who attempted to traffic the skeletons to India, fled sensing the presence of BGB, said Arshad Ali.
