The Bidadi police on Sunday arrested a 35-year-old man and recovered 30 human skulls and bones which he had stored in a makeshift temple to allegedly perform rituals and black magic.
Based on an alert from villagers, a police team rushed to Jogaradoddi village in Bidadi police station limits and arrested Balarama and seized the skulls and bones along with other material for further investigation.
The skulls and bones have been sent to FSL for analysis, a senior police officer said.
