Ministry of Culture Report on Piprawah Jewels Movement False and
Misleading: Ministry of Culture
Posted On: 24 SEP 2025 4:34PM by PIB Delhi The Ministry of Culture categorically denies the report published under the headline “Relics returned to India after ‘colonial’ uproar immediately loaned to Russia” in The Telegraph dated September 22, 2025. The claims regarding the movement of the Piprawah jewels are baseless and factually incorrect.
The jewels remain securely under the custody of the National Museum, New Delhi, and no proposal for their relocation exists. The report in question was published without verification from the Ministry and is misleading.
The Ministry urges media outlets to verify facts before releasing stories on matters of national importance. **** Sunil Kumari Tiwari pibculture[at]gmail[dot]com (Release ID: 2170678)
