Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, the press conference could not take place as planned. In 2019, they discovered the sceptre at the Allahabad Museum and intended to organize a press conference with museum officials to share the finding. VBJ's managing director, Amarendran Vummudi, revealed that they first became aware of the 'sengol' story through a magazine article in 2018. Uncovered at the Allahabad Museum, the sceptre had remained misidentified for years, mislabelled as Nehru's 'golden walking stick.' Little did they know that their journey would lead to the retrieval of the long-forgotten ' sengol,' a majestic gold sceptre symbolizing the transfer of power from the British in 1947. In a remarkable tale that spans discovery, recognition and national significance, Chennai-based Vummudi Bangaru Jewellers ( VBJ) found themselves at the center of attention when their one-minute video caught the eye of none other than Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
