"Can't Force Themselves Into Our Home": Cousin Warns Udaipur's Maharana

The dispute between two factions of this family dates back to the eighties when Vishwaraj Singh and Lakshay Raj's grandfather, the late Maharana Bhagwat Singh handed over all the trusts that administer forts palaces and temples of the royals to his younger son Arvind Singh Mewar.
The simmering feud between rival royal factions spilled over to Tuesday. This time, by way of warning.
Police officers surrounded the 450-year-old City Palace in Udaipur after the unrest on Monday night when the older brother Vishvaraj Singh -- head of the historic royal family of Mewar -- was blocked from entry by his younger brother, Arvind Singh, and his son, Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar.
"People in political positions should not misuse their position and power with the government to enter our home," said Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar warning his cousin Vishvaraj Singh, a BJP MLA.
