NEW DELHI, Dec 8: Sweden on Wednesday handed over two reminted replicas of Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore's Nobel Prize for Literature, which was stolen in March.
The gold and bronze medals were given by Swedish Secretary of State Hans Dahlgren to India's Minister for External Affairs Natwar Singh at a ceremony at the Indian Foreign Ministry.
Tagore (1861-1941) became the first Indian to win a Nobel Prize in 1913. His medal and other priceless artefacts were stolen in March from the Vishwa Bharati University museum in West Bengal.
The theft took place while security guards were watching an India-Pakistan cricket match on television. -dpa
