In an audacious midnight heist that feels straight out of a movie script, an armed gang managed to steal a 3,000 to 3,500 kg (3.5-tonne) historic cannon from the 16th-century Narwar Fort in Shivpuri district, Madhya Pradesh.
The targeted raid—which has exposed severe security gaps at the protected heritage site—has triggered a massive joint search operation stretching across state lines into Rajasthan.
