Panna (Madhya Pradesh): A sparkling 11.9-carat diamond, found in Panna, has become the talk of the city! Not just for its luster, but for the drama it has caused.

Found in the city known for diamonds, the gem, worth around ₹50 lakh, was submitted by a worker.

But, two others, including Nisar Khan, have jumped in, saying it’s theirs!

Now, the diamond is stuck in the middle of a three-way claim, and officials are stepping in to figure out who the real owner is.

Where was the diamond found?

According to Pushpendra Tiwari, the diamond was found in a shallow mine in Heerapur. He said that in July 2024, he had started mining work there along with Nisar Khan and Shripal Jain. Their partnership included 70% share for Pushpendra, 20% for Nisar, and 10% for Shripal.

Pushpendra said that Madhav Adivasi, also known as Ramsingh, used to manage labor work for their team. After some time, Madhav disappeared from work. Then, on 8 July 2025, he suddenly submitted the diamond under his own name.

According to diamond officer Ravi Patel, Madhav submitted the diamond under the name of a shallow mine in Krishna Kalyanpur. Interestingly, the lease (patta) for this mine was also issued on the same day the diamond was submitted.

The matter has raised many questions, and officials say they will look into all sides before deciding who the real owner of the diamond is.
