UK returns Indian statue stolen 57 years ago on I-Day
A 12th-century bronze Buddha statue stolen from an ASI museum at Nalanda, Bihar, 57 years ago has been returned by London's Metropolitan Police on Independence Day. The statue was among 14 stolen in 1961 and surfaced many years later at an auction in London. Once identified, the police cooperated with the Met's Art and Antiques Unit to return the statue.
