On Tuesday, Sudhir Mungantiwar, the culture minister for Maharashtra, would fly to London to sign an agreement with the museum on the return of the weapon.
It is expected that the wagh nakh will be kept at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Museum in south Mumbai.
On the basis of the Hindu calendar, we are thinking about bringing it back to coincide with the anniversary of Shivaji's murder of Afzal Khan," Mungantiwar said.
The artifact holds immense significance, symbolizing a pivotal moment in Maharashtra’s history.
