Imphal, February 26 2015: After it was decided to rope in the CBI to investigate the discovery of human skulls and skeletal remains from the campus of the erstwhile Tombisana High School, the State Government has urged Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh to direct the CBI to take over the particular case for speedy investigation, Chief Minister O Ibobi stated in the State Assembly today during discussion of supplementary demands for grants.

The human skulls and skeletal remains were discovered while digging the ground for construction of a new market complex equipped with parking lots under the Urban Development Ministry.

Reminding that the State Government promptly decided to hand over the case to CBI, Ibobi appealed to all political parties to contribute their resources in establishing the facts behind the mysterious discovery.

“Let’s all watch together and see if there are any more skeletal remains in the erstwhile school campus and the whole process of excavation may be done in front of a Magistrate and the process may be recorded in video.

But let there be no opposition to the ground digging work as the ground floor section of the new market complex must be completed before the onset of rainy season”, Ibobi appealed.

The whole process of excavation may be overseen by representatives of different civil society organisations, he stated.

Talking about expansion of road from Keishampat to Malom, Ibobi stated that the Government spent around Rs 100 crore in payment of compensation for affected land and standing properties.
