"We have sent them for forensic analysis, it would take a week before we could get any other details," said an official at the Begur Police station.

The incident unfurled when the contractors who were hired to clone the perlocation pit found the skeletal remains in one of them and immediately alerted the residents of the apartment. Following this, the Begur police, under whose jurisdiction the apartment complex falls, filed an Unnatural Death Report, based on a complaint by the president of the residents' welfare association (RWA).
