KOHIMA: Highly decomposed bodies of nine unidentified persons, who were blindfolded with hands tied up, have been found buried in a gorge near Chumukedima in Dimapur district of Nagaland.
Police discovered the bodies lying atop each other last night, Dimapur SP V.Z. Angami said on Saturday. The victims were found blindfolded with hands tied behind and shot from close range on the heads, he said, adding that the bodies were covered with a blue polythene sheet over which some boulders were placed.
It was suspected they might have been killed about two weeks ago as their bodies were in a decomposed state beyond recognition.
The SP said that there was no missing report in any of the police stations under his jurisdiction and did not rule out the possibility of the crime being committed in some other place and the bodies were dumped in the area.
The information about the bodies was passed on to the police by some labourers who noticed a foul smell emanating and some human feet visible. Angami said that a case had been registered and investigation was in progress.
