According to police, the skeleton, found by a labour while digging, was of a five-year old boy identified as Himanshu, who had gone missing in 2009.
Munni Devi, sister of Himanshu's father lived in the building which was there in 2009. It was here Himanshu was last seen before going missing.
"A shoe, which the victim's father identified to be of his son, was also recovered along with the bones. We are now sending the skeleton for forensic examination so that they can be matched with the victim's parents," said a police official.
Munni Devi left the house an year ago after which the owner of the house sold it. The new owner razed the old building and was constructing a new house when the skeleton was found today.
Police said it was investigating the case and efforts were on to trace Munni Devi and her family.
