Hubli: Around 50 human skulls were found in one place, while desalting a storm water drain in Annigeri, along with some skeletons spread on 3 acres there. The skulls were sent to BARC for “Carbo-dating” to know their age, said Dharwad D.C. Jain.
Dr. V.S. Acharya suggested that there was a cemetery in the area and the bodies were probably interred after a battle, over 200 years ago. The final conclusion is yet to be made.
Forensic tests are conducted in Hubli and Dharwad as part of investigation. Dharwad DC, Darpan Jain, will submit a report to the state govt. on the finds. People and newsmen are visiting the site in large numbers.
