Kolkata: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) may have closed the case relating to the theft of Rabindranath Tagore's Nobel medal but was willing to reopen it if any leads came its way, a top official said Saturday.
"We have closed the case. But give us a lead if you have any information. We will reopen it," CBI chief Ashwani Kumar told reporters.
The CBI had closed the probe into the Nobel theft case for the second time late last year based on a report from Interpol that it had not arrested any suspect in Bangladesh.
The CBI had earlier closed the case in September 2007 saying its investigations was not going anywhere.
However, in September 2008, the agency reopened the case after telling the court that it has stumbled upon "vital clues".
The sensational theft of the medallion and 47 other memorabilia from Rabindra Bhawan at Santiniketan in Bolpur came to light March 25, 2004.
