Live! India's excavation at Unnao ends: NO gold, only pottery is found

October 29, 2013 13:48

Just in: India's treasure hunt at Unnao draws to a close. The ASI stops excavation at the site after it finds living quarters and pottery from the Buddhist era.

The much-hyped excavation was being carried out by the ASI after a seer, Shobhan Sarkar, dreamt that 1,000 tonnes of gold were buried in the fort of Raja Rao Ram Bux Singh, a 1857 war of Independence martyr, in Daundia Khera village.

Sarkar has claimed that treasures were also hidden at many other places in UP. His claim was not taken seriously by the local administration and the state government.

However, a Union Minister later visited the area and met Sarkar. The minister then directed ASI to work on it, which began on October 18.
