Pilibhit (UP) (PTI): Skeletal remains, believed to be of an 18-year-old girl who left her home in December after an argument with her family, were found near a canal in Uttar Pradesh's Pilibhit on Friday, police said.

According to the police, around 10 am a local spotted the skeletal remains floating in the canal water near the Chittarpur bridge and informed authorities.

Subsequently, Ramesh Rajput, the father of Roshni who went missing in December, was called for identification. He and other family members identified the deceased based on the clothing and other evidence found at the spot, they said.

Roshni, a resident of Kalinagar under the Madhotanda police station area, left her home on December 28, 2025, following a dispute with her family members. She reportedly jumped into the Hardoi branch canal from the Chittarpur bridge, they said.

Despite extensive search operations involving divers at the time, she could not be traced.

Madhotanda police station in-charge Ashok Pal told reporters that the body had completely decomposed after remaining in the water for 82 days, leaving only the skeletal structure.

The mortal remains have been sent to the district headquarters for a forensic examination, the police said.
