Vasai's Locked Tank Mystery: 150 Human Bones Uncovered, "Dinesh" Clue Emerges
- •Over 150 dry human bones were discovered inside an abandoned water tank on a 30-year-old building in Vasai, Maharashtra, during renovation work on January 31.
- •The skeletal remains were in an advanced stage of decomposition, crumbling easily, indicating they had been in the tank for a very long time.
- •Investigators found black trousers and a white shirt with the name "Dinesh" written on them, posing a challenge for identification due to the fragile state of the remains.
- •The unused water tank, installed decades ago, remained empty due to low water pressure, preventing earlier detection of the grim contents.
- •Forensic teams have sent the bones to the Directorate of Forensic Science Laboratory in Kalina, Mumbai, to determine gender, cause, and time of death, while police review missing persons cases.
