Two rifles stolen from Bhav Vilas Palace

Rajkot: Two .22 rifles have been stolen from Bhav Vilas Palace in Bhavnagar. Though the crime is suspected to have been committed on the late of December 27 night last year, the complaint in this connection was lodged on Wednesday.
The rifles were kept in the trophy room of the palace. On December 28, palace care taker Ghanshyamsinh Gohel found the glasses of the windows of the trophy room broken.
“When Gohel checked, he found that of the five rifles kept in the room, two were missing. Gohel informed the palace king, Shivbhadrasinh Gohel, who lodged a complaint with Bor Talav police station,” said K M Rawal, inspector with Bor Talav police station.
As the police suspect it to be the handiwork of an insider, they have started questioning the staff of the palace. The palace has a staff strength of 14 workers.
