The discovery was made by contract workers in the city of Unnao, around 60 kilometers (37 miles) southwest of Lucknow.
While cleaning a disused part of a city police station late last week, the workers chanced upon sacks filled with human remains in a long-ago locked room.

The discovery comes two weeks after around 80 skeletons and decayed bodies surfaced in the Ganges, India’s holiest river, in the district.
