The skull and bones that are believed to be the mortal remains of Sandhya Singh — missing sister of music composers Jatin and Lalit — was found a mere 200 yards from her house, say the Navi Mumbai police.

However, the discovery has puzzled both the police and forensics experts, who say that it usually takes a longer time for an entire body to reduce to its skeletal form. Moreover, only a few bones — around 10-15 — along with the skull, were found, and not the entire skeletal framework.
