In an intriguing event which made the public gasp with curiosity, raising countless questions, a mysterious wooden box washed ashore opposite the YMCA on RK Beach Road in Vizag. This scene, which occurred last night, attracted huge crowds rushing towards the unidentified item. As a result, the police swung into action to restrict the public from coming close to what is believed to be a 100-year-old box.

The officials estimated that the box weighs over 100 tonnes. Meanwhile, archaeological experts opined that the box might belong to the British era. Nevertheless, what the box might contain could not be ascertained immediately.

This morning, the officials broke open the box to find out that it was indeed empty and did not contain anything contrary to the speculations of it having historical significance.
