And also do any one have any information on the whereabouts of these jewelries ?
It is heard that, the famous Ko-hi-noor diamond used to be worn by her.
She wrote the following to the British when she escaped in 1849 after shifting several prisons. "You put me in a cage and locked me up. For all your locks and your sentries, I got out by magic ... I had told you plainly not to push me too hard - but don't think I ran away, understand well that I escape by myself unaided ... When I quit the fort of Chunar, I threw down two papers on my gaddi and one I threw on a European charpoy, now don't imagine I got out like a thief!"
