FAKE!
Tipu NEVER wore this ring. The ring was a part of Tipu& #39;s collection of loot he accumulated throughout his career.
There is NOT ONE reference that Tipu ever wore this ring. This is a recently manufactured FAKE MYTH that it was found on his dead body. https://twitter.com/SalmanNizami_/status/1291078573445398530">https://twitter.com/SalmanNiz...
