On being informed, Badagaon Forest Range personnel recovered the skeletal remains and informed the police who reached the spot and sent them to PRM Medical College and Hospital for a post-mortem.

Since the death occurred around 30-40 days ago, the body is beyond recognition. However, Bangiriposhi IIC Virendra Senapati confirmed that the elder brother and sister-in-law of the deceased identified it to be that of Sania Dehuri, a resident of Badagaon village. They recognised him from his clothes and slippers, the IIC said.

Cops registered a case (12/25) of unnatural death and began an investigation.
