What do the local people say?
Local resident Amit tells that this old mansion was right in front of us. It was demolished about one and a half years ago. Since then there has been talk in the area that treasure was found during the excavation. Badrinarayan Sethi was a very rich man, hence people believe that there may be old treasure in the mansion. Although we have not seen anything ourselves, these are just discussions.
Local shopkeeper Raja Ramchandani told that when the work of demolishing the mansion started one and a half years ago, people used to discuss that gold and silver could be found in the mansion. The owner of the mansion, Rahul Sethi, had also got it investigated and it was discussed that the owner had found some treasure at that time. But now it is being heard that the contractor who did the work has taken out the treasure. But if the treasure has been found then it belongs to the owner of the mansion and he should get it.
