People arrested for smuggling human remains, in West Bengal

From the archive record

Police have arrested four suspected corpse smugglers and recovered 18 intact skeletons and other bones believed exhumed from cemeteries in a notorious grave-robbing. Police seized the "neatly washed and cleaned" human remains from a village in West Bengal state's Burdwan district that led to the arrest of four men allegedly part of an international smuggling ring. The skeletons, neatly washed and cleaned were about to be smuggled and sold. We suspect that they are part of an international skeleton smuggling racket. Investigators have identified the recipients of the cache that they suspect was stolen from graveyards in the Muslim dominated district.
