Touchstone statue of Tk 7cr recovered
Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) members recovered a touchstone statue of a Hindu goddess worth Tk 7 crore and arrested two of a family in this connection at Sultanpur village in Natore Sadar upazila on Thursday night.
The arrestees are Shahjahan Miah and his son Mohasin.
In a press briefing at Natore Press Club, Company Commander of Rab- 5 Maj Kamruzzaman Parvez yesterday said Shahjahan found the touchstone statue weighing 138 kg 10 months ago while digging a pond. And they tried to sell the statue instead of handing it over to the administration, he added.
Acting on a tip-off, a team of the elite force conducted a drive at Shahjahan's house and recovered the statue.
