Two Skeletons Found in Valmiki Tiger Reserve; Suicide Note Recovered, Five-Month-Old Missing Case Revived

West Champaran, Bihar: Two human skeletons were discovered inside the forest area of the Valmiki Tiger Reserve, leading police to reopen a five-month-old missing persons case. Along with the skeletal remains, officials recovered a suicide note, clothes, slippers, and a mobile phone from the site.

📍 Discovery Inside Forest Area

Forest personnel reportedly stumbled upon the skeletal remains during routine patrolling inside the tiger reserve. The information was immediately passed on to local police, who reached the spot and began an investigation.

The remains were found in a relatively secluded stretch of the reserve, raising initial suspicions. However, the recovery of a handwritten suicide note at the scene has shifted the focus of the probe.

📄 Suicide Note and Personal Belongings Recovered

Police officials confirmed that a suicide note was found near the remains. Personal items including clothing, slippers, and a mobile phone were also seized as evidence. Investigators are analysing the contents of the note and verifying its authenticity through forensic examination.

The mobile phone recovered from the site is being examined to retrieve call records and other digital data that may help establish the sequence of events.

🔎 Link to Missing Case

Preliminary investigation suggests that the skeletal remains may be linked to a missing case registered nearly five months ago in a nearby district. Authorities are working to confirm the identities of the deceased through forensic and DNA testing.

Family members of the missing individuals have been informed, and samples may be collected to assist in identification.

👮 Police Investigation Underway

Senior police officials stated that while the suicide note indicates self-harm, all angles are being examined before drawing conclusions. The skeletal remains have been sent for forensic analysis to determine the exact cause and time of death.

Security has been tightened in the surrounding forest area, and officials are continuing the probe to ensure that no foul play is involved.

Further details are expected once forensic reports and identification procedures are completed.
