KARACHI: Human bones have been recovered during excavation continued near Karachi’s Annu Bhai Park located in Nazimabad area of the metropolis, a private source reported on Wednesday.
Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Arif Saleem Rao told the media, human bones were recovered during an excavation near Annu Bhai Park located in Nazimabad area of the metropolis.
Initial investigations suggested the bones were medical wastage and had been buried many years ago.
“Human bones are separated from bodies during surgeries and operations from different parts of sugar patients,” SSP Rao added.
SSP Rao further said no human skeleton had been found, but they did recover human bones of different sizes from different parts of the park wrapped in rolls of clothes.
Separately, Nusrat Fahim, the hospital administrator of a private hospital near the site, when approached, said they did not bury bones like this.
“We do not cut off body parts daily, it only happens sometimes,” he said. “We do not collect limbs. The cut-off limbs are given to the family of the patients, who bury them.”
“If nobody collects them, the hospital staff buries them in a graveyard,” he added.
