PRESS TRUST OF INDIA  
MUMBAI, JAN 19: The total loss in yesterday's ransacking by vandals of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) headquarters at the Brabourne Stadium here could be around Rs 15 lakhs.

The Oriental Insurance and survey inspectors, however, told PTI today that the exact amount would be known within a week.

The rampaging mob caused extensive damage to as many as 32 trophies, including the Ranji Trophy, Madhavrao Scindia Trophy and the Fathesingh Gaikwad Trophy.

The Veximco Trophy, which the Indian under-19 team won in the Junior World Cup at Australia in 1989, was totally damaged while the Independence Cups which India won in Bangaladesh and at home a couple of years ago were partially damaged.
