Uttar Pradesh: Locked ancestral vault found in excavation, lock was broken by video recording
During the excavation, sometimes things of old times, gold and silver coins come out in front. Sometimes, the treasure found in the excavation turns the economic condition of the family from whose land it was found. A similar case has come to the fore from Etah. The family, which was once a landlord here in the past, is struggling with the economic situation today. But now maybe his luck can turn. Actually the name of the family had come in the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. In such a situation, the family was getting their ruined old house excavated to make it new. During the excavation, a vault came out in front and everyone’s eyes were fixed on the vault.
The news of finding the ancient vault during the excavation spread like fire in the entire village and area. People started coming from far and wide to see the vault. As soon as the information was received about the vault, the police also became alert and the police kept a guard near the vault and informed the district administration about the matter.
In fact, Bhuprakash Maheshwari, a resident of Etah’s Jangera, got a house under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. It was decided to dig up the old dilapidated house and build a new house. For this the excavation of the old house started. A safe came out during the excavation. It is being told that this vault is 200 years old and it belongs to the ancestors of Bhuprakash Maheshwari.
Ancestors have been landlords
According to the information received, the ancestors of Bhuprakash Maheshwari were landlords. He had about 150 bighas of land. Out of this, he had donated a lot of land for many social service works. Now the financial condition of the family is not very good. The family was living in an old dilapidated house. During this time his name came in the housing scheme. Meanwhile, during the excavation, this vault of ancestors came out in front. In such a situation, it is being speculated that there can be a huge amount of gold and silver in this vault.
Landlord has the key of 200 years old safe
Please inform that the key of the 200-year-old vault is with the owner Jai Prakash Maheshwari. He told that our family jewelry and some land papers may be kept in the vault. The house was old and in olden times its roof had also fallen and this vault of the ancestors was buried under the debris. During that time it could not be removed. But now during the excavation it came out in front.
The lock of the safe will be opened by the police under the supervision of the administration. During this, family members will also be present. Now it has to be seen that what does this family, which is facing economic challenges, get from this vault of its ancestors? Is there gold-silver in the safe or any other thing? This will be known very soon.
It was inside the vault
The lock of this vault was broken in the presence of officials on Friday. During this, an 80-year-old old woman was also present, who had told that this safe was hers and due to the ruins of the house, there was no arrangement to keep it, so the safe was not removed from the ground. The safe was opened while video recording under the supervision of Sadar Tehsildar CP Singh at around one o’clock on Friday afternoon. Meanwhile, a large crowd of people was present on the spot and on the roofs of the nearby houses. Those who wanted to know what is there in the safe? Everyone expected that a lot of jewelery etc. could be found in this old-fashioned vault. But all such speculations proved wrong when the safe was opened.
Sadar Tehsildar CP Singh said that a pair of gold tops, a silver mangalsutra and some old papers were found in the vault. Apart from this, no jewelery or cash etc. has been found. All the goods have been handed over to Graha Swami. Everything was handed over to the owner of the house in written form.
