The staffers have informed the police that all the belongings in the room are lying untouched, he said.
The police are also questioning the employees on the premises in the matter, the CSP added.
Jai Vilas Mahal is a 19th century palace established by Jayajirao Scindia, the erstwhile Maharaja of Gwalior in 1874 and is currently owned by BJP leader Jyotiraditya Scindia.
