"They were later packed in four separate bags and sent for four separate autopsy reports."
According to SI Md Sahidul Islam, police found two skulls, numerous vertebrae, sternum, hip, knees, ribcage hands, feet bones and 18 inches of hair. Besides, each bag contained some burnt human body parts.
The bags have been sent to the forensic department of the hospital where DNA tests will be conducted to determine the age and identity of the victims.
The bones are presumed to be of four people who died in the factory fire two months ago on 8 July.
To date, 45 out of the 51 workers who died in the deadly fire that engulfed the six-storey building at Rupganj have been identified and handed over to their relatives following the DNA samples tests. Three bodies are yet to be identified.
