The discovery of stores worth millions of dollars in Vienna has attracted world attention. What started as a simple renovation soon turned into an event of historical significance. In Penjing District, a plumber noticed a mysterious rope sticking out of the basement’s concrete floor. Out of curiosity, he decided to pull it out, finding a rusty metal box filled with gold coins weighing 30 kilograms. Value? Approximately $2.4 million. According to local laws, both the employee and the property owner get a share of this windfall jackpot, catapulting the businessman to millionaire status. This amazing discovery shows how much history lies behind European cities and how laws can benefit those who make such incredible discoveries.

Rope became fortune: A plumber found 66 pounds of gold in Austria

A plumber was working on a basement renovation at a villa in Vienna’s Penzing district when something unexpected happened. While clearing the area they found a rope sticking out of the concrete. Out of curiosity, he decided to excavate the site, which unearthed an old metal box. Inside, the gold coins weighed about 30 kilograms (about 66.1 pounds). These coins worth about 24 lakh dollars were hidden under the floor for many years. This astonishing discovery came to light accidentally during routine maintenance work.

Austrian law mandates fair division

As reported by local outlets hueteAccording to Section 398 of the Austrian Civil Code, it is clearly stated who is the owner of the found treasure. The rule states that any treasure discovered is shared equally between the person who found it and the owner of the land where it was hidden. Since the plumber took action by investigating and excavating the site, he claims half of the market value of the gold. This legal order has now made the businessman a millionaire, with his share expected to exceed $1.2 million.

Why was gold buried under concrete?

This treasure is made up of rare gold coins that depict the famous composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Experts believe the coins were minted and then hidden in the 1930s or early 1940s, a time when Europe faced major political and economic challenges. Before World War II, wealthy families encased their property in concrete to protect it from damage or loss. The discovery of such a large, inexhaustible archive provides rare insight into how wealth was kept secret in Austria in the mid-20th century.

The difference between junk and a life-changing discovery

The story comes out of a ‘near miss’ with another contractor who was on site the day before. He also noticed rope sticking out of the basement floor, but dismissed it as discarded debris. Ignoring this oddity cost the treasury several million dollars. Meanwhile, the plumber’s choice to pull that rope shows how close an ordinary day can come to an incredible discovery.

Chandranath Rath, an aide of BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari, was shot dead in a carefully planned manner near Kolkata airport.

New Delhi: A fake number plate, a Glock 47X pistol, several bike-riding professional shooters, and a point-blank ambush near Kolkata airport – shocking new details have emerged in the murder of Chandranath Rath, a close aide of BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari, as investigators probe what police and BJP leaders are calling a carefully planned attack.Rath, 42, who worked as Adhikari’s personal assistant and executive aide for nearly five years, was shot dead in North 24 Parganas late on Wednesday night when assailants stopped his SUV near Dohariya between Dolatala and Madhyamgram Chowmatha, barely a few kilometers from the Kolkata airport.According to the police, Rath was returning to his home in Madhyamgram from Kolkata around 10.30 pm when at least four motorcycle-riding assailants, allegedly following another four-wheeler, surrounded his vehicle and stopped it before opening fire at close range.Read more: 4 bikes, 8 gunmen and a blocked Scorpio: How Suvendu Adhikari’s aide was chased and ambushed near Kolkata airportPolice suspect that six to ten rounds of bullets were fired during the attack.Based on preliminary forensic inputs, police believe the attackers used sophisticated firearms, possibly a Glock 47X pistol. “Weapons of this nature are not usually used by ordinary criminals. We are investigating whether professional shooters or contract killers were involved,” a senior police officer told news agency PTI.West Bengal DGP Siddhinath Gupta said police recovered live cartridges, fired cartridges allegedly used during the operation and seized a suspected four-wheeler. However, the number plate on the vehicle was found to be fake and tampered.“The four-wheeler used in the crime has been seized, but it appears that the number plate is fake. We have recovered live cartridges and spent cartridges from the spot. CCTV footage and eyewitness accounts are being examined,” Gupta said after visiting the spot along with CRPF DG Gyanendra Pratap Singh.Preliminary findings suggest that the attackers, allegedly riding on four motorcycles, carried out the attack in a coordinated manner after chasing Rath’s SUV from near the airport area. Eyewitnesses claimed that another vehicle suddenly stopped Rath’s car at Dohariya, before the shooter came inside and fired repeatedly at point-blank range.As soon as Rath’s SUV stopped, the attackers came near the vehicle and fired indiscriminately at the front seats. Rath was hit in the chest and stomach, doctors later said that the bullets had hit his heart and stomach. Their driver Buddhadeb Bera was shot in the chest, stomach and leg and is in critical condition.An eyewitness described the murder as “pre-planned” and executed with precision.“As Chandra’s car crossed my car, it suddenly stopped in the middle, and a person riding a bike came and started firing from the left side of the car. The shooter seemed to be an expert and immediately ran away. The bullets were fired from very close range,” the witness told news agency ANI.Locals rushed Rath and Bera to a nearby private hospital, where doctors declared Rath brought dead.Hospital owner Pratim Sengupta said, “Rath was dead by the time he was brought. Bera was later shifted to another hospital.”The murder, which took place less than 48 hours after the West Bengal Assembly election results were declared, sparked a massive political storm.The official described the attack as a “brutal and premeditated murder” and alleged that the attackers had conducted reconnaissance before carrying out the ambush.Urging BJP workers not to retaliate, he alleged, “Reconnaissance was carried out for two to three days and the murder was thoroughly planned. This is the result of 15 years of Mahajungal Raj in Bengal.”West Bengal BJP president Samik Bhattacharya described the killing as a “planned and targeted attack” to send a political message, while BJP leaders including Agnimitra Paul, Swapan Dasgupta and Kaustav Bagchi alleged political motives behind the killing.The All India Trinamool Congress condemned the incident and demanded a court-monitored CBI probe, while also blaming “BJP-backed miscreants” for the post-poll violence elsewhere in the state.Meanwhile, police teams are scanning CCTV footage from the crime scene and surrounding roads to trace the shooters, who reportedly fled on motorcycles without helmets and without number plates to avoid identification.(with agency input)

पश्चिम बंगाल चुनाव नतीजों का असर अब उत्तर प्रदेश की राजनीति पर साफ नजर आने लगा है. बीजेपी की जीत ने न सिर्फ ममता बनर्जी को सत्ता से बेदखल कर दिया, बल्कि समाजवादी पार्टी प्रमुख अखिलेश यादव को भी बड़ा झटका दिया. 2027 के विधानसभा चुनाव से पहले अखिलेश ने अपनी रणनीति में बड़ा बदलाव किया है. सपा ने मशहूर चुनाव रणनीतिकार संगठन आईपीएसी से अपना रिश्ता खत्म कर लिया है और अब नई टीम के साथ आगे बढ़ने की तैयारी में है. इस फैसले को लेकर राजनीतिक गलियारों में चर्चा तेज हो गई है.

SP ने IPAC से अपना रिश्ता क्यों तोड़ा?
2027 का चुनाव अखिलेश यादव के लिए काफी अहम माना जा रहा है. इस चुनाव को जीतने के लिए सपा ने पहले आईपीएसी को सर्वे और सोशल मीडिया की जिम्मेदारी दी थी. आईपीएसी वही संगठन है जिसने 2021 में तमिलनाडु में डीएमके और पश्चिम बंगाल में टीएमसी के लिए रणनीति बनाई थी. कहा जा रहा है कि ममता बनर्जी के कहने पर ही एसपी ने आईपीएसी को काम सौंपा था. लेकिन दोनों राज्यों में हार के बाद सपा ने यह समझौता ख़त्म कर दिया.
