Piprahwa Gems have not been moved abroad, the Ministry of Culture clarified on September 24, 2025, dismissing a report in The Telegraph claiming that relics returned to India after a ‘colonial’ uproar were immediately loaned to Russia. According to the Press Information Bureau (PIB), the claims regarding the movement of the Piprahwa Gems are entirely baseless and factually incorrect. The treasures remain securely in the custody of the National Museum, New Delhi, and there is no proposal for their relocation. The Ministry stressed that the report was published without any verification and called it misleading. It urged all media outlets to ensure accurate fact-checking before publishing stories involving matters of national importance. The public can rest assured about the gems’ safety. Piprahwa Relics of Gautam Buddha Return to India After 127 Years, PM Narendra Modi Calls It ‘A Joyous Day for Our Cultural Heritage’ (See Pics).
