CBI finds 'stolen' Tagore treasures

The three items were found when the CBI carried out a "physical verification" of stocks in the museum a few days ago. Earlier, a broken ivory piece, which too was reported stolen, was found in the museum.

Visva-Bharati registrar Mr Sunil Kumar Sarkar said: "Nobody from the university touched anything in the museum after the burglary. A list of stolen items was made without touching anything. As many of the items were not found in their proper places, they were included in the list.

"When the CBI searched the museum a few days ago, these items were found buried under other memorabilia, probably a reason why they weren't found after the burglary."
