CBI refuses to hand over Tagore Nobel theft case to WB govt

The CBI on Wednesday refused to hand over the theft case of Rabindranath Tagore's Nobel Prize medallion to the West Bengal government. The CBI asked state investigation agencies to inform it if it finds new clues, an official said. The medallion was stolen in 2004, and in 2009 the CBI permanently closed the probe citing a lack of fresh leads.
