The central government on Monday told the Supreme Court that the British East India Company did not take away the Kohinoor diamond but it was gifted to Britain by Maharaja Duleep Singh. This is how Twitterati reacted as the news spread.
Several reports in the Indian press suggest that Maharaja Ranjit Singh gave away the #Kohinoor to the British in 1849. He died in 1839.
