Bhubaneswar, Nov 1: A haunting discovery in Chandaka Forest, on the outskirts of Bhubaneswar, has left locals in shock and suspicion. A human skeleton was found half-buried in the ground, with disturbing details as the skull, jaw, and thigh bone were exposed, while the rest of the body remained buried. The eerie scene raises immediate questions about what really happened.

Residents who stumbled upon the remains were quick to report the find, triggering a swift response from both the police and the forest department.

Being informed, the investigators noted the strange nature of the burial- one half of the body was concealed, while the other was left in plain sight. This unusual and deliberate positioning has led police to suspect foul play, though the exact circumstances remain unclear.

Adding a layer of mystery, a local resident had gone missing around a month ago, fueling speculation that the remains could belong to the missing individual. But the circumstances surrounding the burial and whether the death was natural or a result of foul play are yet to be determined.

Police are currently awaiting a report from the scientific team, which could shed light on the cause of death and confirm the identity of the deceased.
