Question

Twenty years ago I bought a plot of land in Dhaka for the purpose of building a house. Now I have started building a house on that land. But while digging a hole in one place, a skeleton was found under the ground. When the land-seller was asked about this, he said, "To my knowledge, there was no grave here." By which it is understood that it is a very old tomb. The thing I know is, what should I do in this situation in the eyes of the law? Note that I need to build a house in that place. 4793898734

In the case in question, you can pick up the skeleton and bury it elsewhere. Or you can build a house on the top by burying it under the ground. 5429611777
