Old slippers, necklace and some other things were found there. As it was a desolate area where there was not much movement of people, no one seemed to have touched those things''.

Explaining the matter, the DCP said, "All the items found at the spot were seized by the officials of our forensic science laboratory. After inspecting them, we started an investigation of the missing cases registered in the last one year. On July 8, a missing case of a woman was registered at Hulimavu Police Station. A woman from Nepal went missing six months ago. She got married to a Nepalese labourer two years ago and also has a child."

"The couple used to quarrel over his drinking habit, and the woman left the house and did not return. Then the husband lodged a missing complaint of his wife. At that time Halimavu Police Station Police made all efforts to search but in vain. Based on the information given by him at the time of filing the complaint, a thorough investigation revealed that the skeleton found belonged to Pushpa Dami and that she died by suicide,'' DCP said.
