JABALPUR: An investigation has commenced following the emergence of a social media video depicting two dogs toying with a skull in proximity to a state-operated medical college hostel in Jabalpur city of Madhya Pradesh, authorities confirmed on Thursday.
It has yet to be ascertained whether it is a human skull, said a senior college official.
“We learnt about dogs playing with a skull behind the hostel building on Wednesday,” said Dr Navneet Saxena, dean of the Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Medical College and Hospital.
“We can’t say anything about the skull with certainty right now. It might or might not be a human skull, something picked up from the nearby lake. Or it could be one of the skulls the students of anatomy take home to study,” he said.
The investigation will reveal details about the skull’s source, according to his statement. He confirmed that the police was notified without delay.
Inspector P K Sharma from Garha police station stated that whilst an officer went to the hospital on Wednesday, they were unable to locate the skull shown in the video. He confirmed that investigations were continuing.
