Tripura, 29 Jan 2026: A major sensation has been created in Dhalai district after a human skeleton was recovered on Thursday morning from the Japangpara area under Gandacherra Sub-Division.
According to local sources, residents noticed a human skeleton lying beside a tree and immediately informed the police. Acting on the information, personnel from Gandacherra Police Station rushed to the spot and cordoned off the area, initiating an investigation.
Police have initially suspected that the recovered skeleton might be the remains of Surya Mohan Das, a carpenter from the Haripur Baro Card area of Gandacherra, who has been missing for the last three months. As soon as this possibility came to light, fear and tension spread across the entire region.
It is reported that Surya Mohan Das had been missing since 09/10/2025. After extensive searches by his family failed to yield any result, a missing diary was registered at Gandacherra Police Station. However, even after three months, there was no breakthrough in the case. The family has alleged that there was little progress in the investigation from the police administration.
On Thursday morning, after receiving the news of the skeleton recovery in Japangpara, the family members rushed to the spot, creating an emotionally charged atmosphere in the area.
Several questions have now emerged surrounding the incident. Was it a planned murder? Was it an unnatural death? Or is there some deeper mystery behind it? The investigating team is considering all possibilities and treating the matter as a case of suspicious death.
Officer-in-Charge of Gandacherra Police Station, Asim Sarkar, informed the media that the skeleton would be sent for forensic examination and post-mortem. If required, DNA testing will be conducted to confirm the identity. All details are being cross-checked with the missing diary records, and family members have been called in for questioning.
The incident has spread panic across Japangpara and nearby areas of Gandacherra Sub-Division. Common people are raising serious questions: why was there no effective breakthrough even after three months of a person going missing? Why did the investigation take so long? Is this a case of administrative negligence, or is there a deeper truth hidden behind it?
