Joint Police Search Continues for 16th-Century Cannon Stolen from Narwar Fort
A 16th-century cannon weighing nearly 3,500 kilograms was stolen from Narwar Fort in Madhya Pradesh's Shivpuri district on July 15. Police from Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan conducted extensive joint searches in Rajasthan's Karauli district, particularly in Hindaun's Gavda Meena village, using JCB machines and metal detectors. Despite excavations at multiple sites, the cannon remains missing. Investigations suggest the theft was carefully planned, possibly involving an international smuggling network, with technical evidence and local intelligence guiding ongoing efforts.
