Cultural Affairs Secretary Aktari Mamtaz said the award has been removed from the museum at Dhaka's Shahbagh. "The Cabinet committee had written us to remove the award from the museum and collected it from us," she told bdnews24.com. Museum authorities handed it over to a Cabinet division official on Wednesday, added Aktari.
