Ajmer Police Seize Suspected Antiques, Animal Parts

In Ajmer, police executed a raid on a house in the Hatibatta area, seizing a substantial collection of suspected antique items. The discovery included various animal parts, jewelry purportedly crafted from elephant teeth, antique swords, knives, and other artifacts, some claimed to be linked to historical rulers. The operation was prompted by information regarding prohibited forest items and antiques allegedly traded from the residence.

Officials from the forest and archaeological departments were summoned to assess whether the recovered items fall under banned categories. Initial assessments by the forest department could not immediately identify the animal species from which the nails and teeth originated. Consequently, police have been advised to submit these items for scientific examination at a forensic science laboratory (FSL).
