Joint Police Search Underway in Rajasthan for Stolen 400-Year-Old Cannon from MP Fort
Police from Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan are conducting a joint search in Karauli district for a 400-year-old, 3,500-kg cannon stolen from Narwar Fort in Shivpuri, Madhya Pradesh, on July 15. Despite extensive excavation using JCB machines and metal detectors at multiple suspected sites in Gavda Meena village, no trace of the cannon has been found. Investigations suggest the theft was carefully planned, possibly involving an international antiquities smuggling network. The search continues based on technical leads and local intelligence.
