Raid on Dhaka shop for Tagore’s medal
Dhaka: Bangladesh’s elite anti-crime Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) troops have raided a craft shop in a posh locality here in search of the Rabindranath Tagore’s Nobel Prize medallion that went missing from Santiniketan in West Bengal in 2004, officials said on Tuesday.
“Overhearing a telephonic conversation, we raided the handicraft shop in Gulshan area and detained one person for interrogation,” RAB commanding officer Wing Commander Sultan Mohammad Nurani told PTI.
He said the interrogation was under way and “we are trying to gather the information about the whereabouts of the medal of Tagore”, the first Bengali to win the Nobel Prize in literature in 1913.
Mr. Nurani, however, said they were not sure if the medal was in Bangladesh.
Another RAB official said they raided Rokhshana Pearls Handicrafts in Gulshan, arrested its owner Abul Hossain and launched a manhunt for two other suspects. — PTI
