According to the hospital register, the post-mortems of two girls were conducted in 2013, two in 2015 and one in 2017. The CBI officials are now trying to find out as to whom the bodies of the girls were handed over after their autopsies. "A team of CBI officials is likely to soon interrogate some doctors to collect more details about the case," a district police officer said.
CBI had earlier found human bones at a cremation ground on October 4. It had also carried out an excavation at the shelter home on suspicion that some inmates might have been killed and buried there, but could not find anything.
