#700-year-old Quran stolen from Hindu owner in Rajasthan
Jaipur, Mar 25(IBNS) A seven-century-old copy of the Quran has reportedly been stolen from its Hindu owner in Rajasthan's Beawar town, 160 kms from the state capital of Jaipur.
According to reports, Jaidev Prasad Sharma, owner of the precious book, said the Quran, which had calligraphy in gold and sapphire, was gifted to him by a friend in 2011.
 
On Tuesday evening, one of his acquaintances visited him at home with another man and asked to see the Quran. While Sharma was briefly distracted by a phone call, the visitor allegedly pointed a gun at him and the duo left the place with the Quran.
 
Jaidev said he never wanted to sell the book and wanted to pass it on to his daughter.
 
Police said the book was probably stolen because of its antique value and precious stones.
