Yashodhara, in her written complaint through her personal secretary Tuesday night, said silverware and antiques worth lakhs of rupees were missing from the drawing room of her late mother Vijayraje.
Jyotiraditya lodged a similar report Wednesday.
There is a dispute in the Scindia family over the ownership of Vijayraje's assets. Several cases related to these disputes associated with the palace and trust's property are pending in different courts.
'We would ascertain who controlled the portion where the theft took place and investigate the matter,' additional superintendent of police Manohar Verma said.
