‘No proof found’: UK to Bhopal family seeking repayment of 1917 war loan

 UK’s Debt Management Office says it found no evidence that a 1917 Indian War Loan, in which a Bhopal merchant invested Rs 35,000, was ever a British government obligation. A Sehore family holding the century-old certificate seeks an account of repayment, estimating its value at several crores today. The DMO didn’t say whether it was repaid. UK’s Debt Management Office says it found no evidence that a 1917 Indian War Loan, in which a Bhopal merchant invested Rs 35,000, was ever a British government obligation.
