Nagpur: Residents of Ganeshpeth were left shocked on Friday afternoon after a headless human skeleton, missing one arm, was recovered from a well in a vacant plot near the Agyaram Devi temple in Nagpur. The chilling discovery triggered panic in the locality.
According to police, the land belongs to Devesh Prakash Suchak, a Civil Lines resident. The site once housed a ginning mill, which shut down years ago. The Suchak family purchased the property in 2008 but left it unused. Recently, they decided to clear the land of overgrowth and debris.
