Videos on social media began to do the rounds late on Friday night of large crowd gathered near Asirgarh Fort in Madhya Pradesh’s Burhanpur after rumours spread about gold coins buried in the area. Other than manually digging the area, the video showed villagers using metal detectors from 7 pm to 3 am. A scene from the film Chhaava, which depicted Burhanpur as a “gold mine”, allegedly led to belief that the golden coins were buried deep at the site.
