Human skeleton found at defunct Kanpur seminary; probe on
Kanpur (PTI): A decomposed human skeleton was recovered from a defunct seminary in the Jajamau area of Kanpur on Wednesday, police said.
Additional DCP (East) Rajesh Srivastav said that forensic experts and field units have been asked to probe the matter, and instructions have been issued to get a DNA profiling done to determine the skeleton's gender.
"A detailed study of the skeleton will be carried out to ascertain its age and cause of the death. The skeleton appears to be old," Srivastav told mediapersons.
"The seminary was closed for past several years," he said.
Hamza, the owner of the seminary, was informed by his cousin Anas that the lock in its gate was found broken, the officer said.
When Hamza reached the seminary to take stock of the matter, he found the human skeleton in a room behind the kitchen, Srivastava said.

Vijay unable to prove majority, not invited for CM oath ceremony: Sources
Chennai: Actor-politician Vijay has reportedly not been invited to take oath as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu after failing to demonstrate support from the required number of MLAs, sources in Raj Bhavan said.
According to media reports that quoted sources in the office of R.N. Ravi Arlekar, Vijay could not prove the backing of 118 legislators, the majority mark in the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly.
Despite last-minute efforts to secure support from the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazagam (AMMK), and an IUML legislator, Vijay reportedly managed support from only 116 MLAs, falling short by two members.
Sources said Vijay failed to submit letters of support from the VCK and the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML).
Later, the IUML issued a statement clarifying that it was not part of the TVK-led alliance.
Meanwhile, AMMK leader T.T.V. Dhinakaran is also said to have informed the Governor that his party would support the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) instead.
Earlier in the evening, Vijay had met Governor Arlekar and staked claim to form the government, stating that he enjoyed the support of 118 MLAs.
