Kohinoor was compelled to surrender the British

Kohinoor crown 

The Indian government told the Supreme Court in April 2016 that the United Kingdom did not take or power the precious stone of Kohinoor. The beneficiaries of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, who were in power in Punjab, offered it toward the East India Company. The Archeological Survey of India (ASI), be that as it may, has as of late couldn't help contradicting the announcement. They say that the Maharaja of Lahore was compelled to offer Kohinoor to Victoria Queen of England. 

In an open intrigue case, the legislature had prior said that the successors of Maharaja Ranjit Singh gave this Kohinoor to the United Kingdom as "remuneration" for the Anglo-Sikh war.
