The Daily Telegraph newspaper in its report had claimed the issue of bringing back the Kohinoor is among the priorities of the Indian government
Informed sources have denied reports in the British media that India has mobilised diplomatic resources to bring back the Kohinoor diamond and other artefacts including idols and sculptures from museums in Britain.
It is not true that ministerial and diplomatic resources are being mobilised toward securing the return of thousands of artefacts from the UK, sources said.
The sources said Kohinoor was never mentioned by the official quoted in the reports.
The focus is on the process of retrieval of antiquities through bilateral cooperation and partnership, in a manner consistent with existing international arrangements, sources said, asking not to be identified.
