The police in Mymensingh seized 12 human skulls and two sacks of bones from a residence in the town’s RK Mission Road area early Sunday.
They also arrested one Bappi, 30, in this connection, said Kotwali police station officer-in-charge Md Firoz Talukdar.
The law enforcers also seized chemicals that cause faster decomposition of human bodies.
Firoz said that Bappi had earlier been arrested for twice on the same charge.
‘The arrested is a member of a skeleton smuggling ring. They collect human skeletons from graveyards across the country... Even unidentified bodies are stolen from hospitals,’ the OC said.
