The identities of the 12 bodies found in Chuchepati, Dharan* and Bhatbhateni Supermarkets in Morang after the violent protests on Bhadra 24 have not been revealed for a month and a half.

The police headquarters has stated that post-mortem and DNA testing could not be done as the human skeletons were found in a burnt state. According to the police, no one has come forward to claim that the bodies are their relatives.

The 7 bodies found in Chuchepati have been kept at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, Maharajgunj. 4 bodies were found in Dharan and 1 in Morang. The bodies have been sent to the police forensic science laboratory for DNA testing.

The skeletons found in Bhatbhateni in Chuchepati have been kept in 7 plastic bags at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital. Only their skeletons have been found and the cause of death has not been revealed, says Kathmandu Police Spokesperson SP Pawan Bhattarai. 'These bodies are completely burnt. "No family or relatives have come to claim," he said. "We have sent the bodies to the police forensic laboratory to see if DNA testing can be done, but no report has been received." The bodies were almost completely burned, so they were wrapped in small plastic bags, the Forensic Department of the Teaching Hospital has said.

Sunsari Chief District Officer Dharmendra Kumar Mishra said that the four bodies found in Dharan have not been identified. "The bodies were found in a state of almost complete ashes. So far, only one family has come to claim that a relative has died, no one else has claimed," he said. "We have sent them to the police lab in Kathmandu for DNA testing, but the report has not been received. Even though we came to claim one body, it has not been confirmed since the report has not been received."

Although more than 20 people have died in fires in private homes and buildings across the country, the families have received the bodies after conducting post-mortems after the identities of others were revealed. Police have data on the deaths of protesters in Koteshwor Bhatbhateni, a private house in Lalitpur, a private commercial building in Thankot, Kathmandu, and houses and buildings in Kaski and Chitwan. Police have stated that these incidents occurred while burning down houses and buildings.
