Grave-Robber's in Calcutta are stealing remains in a bid to sell them on the black-market to overseas medical supply companies.
Some even find themselves in well respected establishments as far away as America.
This isn't a new practice for India but, after a ban of exporting bodily remains was imposed in 1985 it forced vendors to 'smuggle' them out via illegal means to distributors who then pass them on to the companies in question.

Black market Bones? I find it pretty amazing what black markets emerge when restrictions are put into place on the legal buying and selling of goods.
