Patna:
Police have announced a cash reward of Rs.1,000 each for
information about the bodies found missing from graves in Bihar's
Araria district, an official said.
The announcement came after bodies of about 50 people killed in
various lightning incidents were found to have been exhumed from
graves in Raniganj and Simraha areas of Araria, about 350 km from
here.
"We are serious about helping people whose kins' bodies are
missing from their graves," Superintendent of Police S.W. Lande
told IANS.
The appeal has been made to help police ascertain the total number
of missing bodies, he said.
Lande said that a gang involved in secretly digging up graves was
busted recently. "The gang was involved in selling human organs
for medical research in Nepal, China and other countries."
"One of the main accused named Mohammad Majid is already in jail
in connection with smuggling of tusks," the police officer said,
adding they are on a lookout for two more people in this
connection.
"It is really shameful to remove bodies from graves for a few
thousand rupees," Lande said.
According to him, human organs or bodies are sold to medical
colleges and those who are involved in clandestine medical
research in several countries.
In Araria, most of the deaths due to lightning go unreported owing
to religious beliefs, Lande said.
