Maharashtra cultural affairs minister Sudhir Mungantiwar on Friday reiterated that Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s iconic ‘wagh nakh’, an iron weapon used to kill Bijapur sultanate’s general Afzal Khan in 1659 will likely be brought back to India from the United Kingdom in November. He also said efforts were also on to bring the famed ‘Jagdamba’ sword of the 17th century Maratha warrior king from a London museum. The minister is set to travel to the UK this month to sign an MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) to get the ‘wagh nakh’ back to India. “In the first phase we are bringing the wagh nakh. It should be brought here in November and we are signing an MoU for that. Our effort is to bring it on the day when Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj disembowelled Afzal Khan,” he said.
