Shiv statue found in pond
An ancient statue of Hindu deity Shiv was recovered from a pond in Badiakhali village under Sadar upazila yesterday.
Quoting locals, police said one Al-Amin, son of Abdus Samad of Badiakhali, went to a nearby pond for taking bath and saw a stone statue. He took it to his house and later handed it over to the chairman of Badiakhali Union Parishad.
On being informed, a police team went to the spot and took the statue to Sadar Police Station.
The statue is an ancient one with Sree Gopal and 1717 written on it.
“If it is made of touchstone, the price would be about Tk 1 crore. We have informed the authorities concerned to examine the statue,” said Khan Md Shahrier, officer-in-charge of the police station.
