Building Construction Minister Ashok Chaudhary on Sunday said that media is projecting the issue of skeletons found near Sri Krishna Medical College in a way which is different from reality.

Chaudhary said, "Sometimes bodies have no claimants so the government gives Rs 2,000 to the postmortem department to burn the bodies, which they don't do many times. A probe will reveal the truth behind this and the media is projecting it differently."

For those unversed, hundreds of skeletal remains were discovered lying in open, in a forest near the government-run Sri Krishna Medical College and Hospital (SKMCH) in Muzaffarpur.
