Unnao gold hunt: Digging continues, SC likely to hear PIL today

Lucknow: As the hunt for the hidden 1,000 tonnes of gold continued in a 19th century fort in Unnao, the Supreme Court (SC) is likely to hear a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) on Monday seeking monitoring of the excavation by Archaeological Survey of India (ASI).The PIL that was filed by advocate ML Sharma last week had sought a urgent hearing on the grounds that valuable things found during the excavation may go missing if not properly supervised.However, SC said that Uttar Pradesh and ASI have not been made parties in the petition and asked the petitioner to remove the defects.
Day 4: ASI continues to dig for hidden 1,000 tonnes of gold in Unnao 

The ASI continued to dig for the hidden 1,000 tonnes of gold supposed to be buried under the ruins of a 19th century fort on the basis of a seer's dream on Monday.The hunt for the gold treasure at Unnao started when the seer had a dream in which a king told him about the hidden gold buried under the ruins at the fort of former King Raja Rao Ram Bux Singh in Unnao's Daudiakala village. 

The king along with Rani Laxmi Bai of Jhansi fought the British during the 1857 Mutiny and was overthrown in the process. He went into hiding only to be captured in Varanasi after which he was sent to the gallows.Union Minister of State for Food Processing Charan Das Mahant met the seer after he learnt about his dream and the excavation work started by ASI and Geological Survey of India (GSI) soon after. 

Even the descendants of the former king came forward to stake their claim in the gold that the seer dreamt of.However, the government clarified its stand on the excavation and said that it is working on the basis of evidence and not merely because the seer dreamt of it.Deputy Director PK Mishra had earlier said that the excavation work to hunt for the hidden gold started on the basis of findings of a GSI report that gold or silver may be hidden in the area. 

Seer dreams of another 2,500 tonnes of hidden gold 

The seer came up with yet another claim that even a bigger treasure of around 2,500 tonnes of gold is buried in the Fatehpur district state.The saint reportedly even wrote to the District Magistrate (DM) informing him about the dream.
