Skeleton of kidnapped teacher found in Jhargram

The skeleton of a teacher, kidnapped by Maoists four years ago, was today recovered by police at the Jhargram block of West Bengal's Midnapore (West) district.
Ajit Giri, a para teacher of the Birihari high school, was kidnapped by Maoists at the time of their heightened activity in the area on July 2, 2010, on the belief that he was supporter of the then ruling party, the CPI (M).
The teacher's family had lodged an FIR but he has been missing since then.
Subsequently one of the Maoists who was involved in the kidnapping, was arrested couple of years after the incident and following his continuous interrogation, a police team dug out the skeleton from a jungle area at Aguiboni.

Giri might have been killed immediately after the incident, police said adding, his father and wife identified the body from the remains of his clothes.
DNA test will be done as per the official procedure, said police.
