LUCKNOW: As many as 13 unidentified dead bodies were found floating in rivers in different parts of the state during the past 24 hours. All the rivers originate in Uttarakhand. A few come to Uttar Pradesh (UP) via Nepal. Authorities suspected that some of the highly decomposed bodies are of those who were washed away in massive floods in Uttarakhand . Bodies have been sent for post mortem. Their DNA samples will be collected before cremation for identification at later stage.

Three bodies, including one of a women, were found in Kali Nadi river Narauna area of Bulandshahr district. Three bodies were recovered from Sharda river in Pilibhit. Similarly, three bodies, including one of women, were found floating in Sharda river in Lakhimpur district. According to police, barring three bodies recovered in Lakhimpur Kheri, the rest 10 might be of those drowned upstream in Uttarakhand and bodies came floating down the river to UP.

Officers said that possibility of 10 bodies floating down to UP from Uttarakhand is higher because they are in highly decomposed condition.
