“In order to put an end to all speculations, we would like to announce that our grandmother Gayatri Deviji left her last will in our favour, giving us all properties and rights,” children of Gayatri’s only son Jagat Singh who died in 1997 and Thai princess Priyanandana Rankshit, said in a statement.
“We are also the only natural legal heirs entitled to succeed to her estate,” said the duo, who locked in a dispute with Prathvi Singh and Jai Singh — stepsons of Gayatri, who was the third wife of erstwhile Jaipur ruler Sawai Man Singh. Gayatri’s properties are worth around Rs 1,000 crore.
