British-era silver coins dated 1815-1915 were unearthed during house foundation digging in Damoh. A labourer alleges 30 kg of coins were concealed. Police have registered a case.
A crocodile killed a woman who had gone to bathe in a river in the Damoh district of Madhya Pradesh on Friday morning.
The incident took place at a village in Jabera tehsil on Wednesday evening when the accused lured the minor, who was playing outside her house, with a toffee, an official said. The accused then raped the victim in an abandoned house and tried to gouge her eyes out to prevent her from identifying him. The severely wounded child was found on Thursday morning.
According to police, the girl was playing with her friends close to her home last evening when she was drawn away by an unknown man.
