As many as 15 human skulls and several skeletons were found below the KalarahangaInjana bridge under the Mancheswar police station in Bhubaneswar on Wednesday.
Police rushed to the spot on receipt of information about the discovery and confiscated the human remains, which would be sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory for scientific analysis, police sources said.
The discovery of the dump has, nevertheless, spread panic in the locality and raised questions about the origin of the skulls and skeletons.
