Ashtdhatu Idol of worth crores found in Quano river in Gonda Uttar Pradesh by Children who went for fishing
An archaic and precious idol of Goddess Sita in Ashtadhatu ( a combination of eight metals) has been recovered by two boys in Chandradeep Ghat in Gonda district of western Uttar Pradesh. The police have been informed and all the necessary actions have taken place.
On Sunday, the two boys, namely Arun (son of Vijay ) and Shyam Singh (son of Ratiram) locals of Chandradeep Ghat, Gonda district had gone for fishing in Quano river as a part of their daily routine. It was while fishing when they entered the river, something touched and hit their feet. On trying to find out what was it they held it to realise that it was an idol of a goddess.
The proactive boys without any delay apprised their elders and the incident was immediately informed to the Gonda police. The police led by SHO Pramod Kumar Singh reached the place of incident and after all the enquiry took the idol into police custody.
The weight of the statue/idol is confirmed by the police to be 17kg 650gms and it is considered to be very precious. The police have estimated it’s worth to be in several crores in the international market.
The case has been further reported to the higher authorities.
As mentioned earlier, such idols usually have very high value in the international market and therefore, cases of idols-theft and temple looting are often heard. In this incident, the take-charge attitude of the two boys is quite appreciable.

No mosque vandalised, no rape or death in Tripura, social media reports fake
In a strongly-worded statement, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said there is no reported case of damage to the structure of any mosque in Tripura in the recent past and that people should maintain calm and should not be misguided by such fake reports.
“There have been news reports that have been circulating that a mosque in Kakraban area of Gomati district in Tripura has been damaged and vandalised. These news reports are fake and are a complete misrepresentation of facts,” it said.
The home ministry said the mosque in the Dargabazar area of Kakraban has not been damaged and the Tripura Police in the Gomati district is working to maintain peace and tranquillity.
The home ministry said that in Maharashtra, there have been reports of violence and unsavoury statements that are aimed at disturbing peace and harmony based on fake news regarding Tripura. “This is very concerning and it is urged that peace is maintained at all costs,” it said.
The home ministry made it clear that there is no reported case of damage to the structure of any mosque in Tripura in the recent past. “There is no report of simple or grievous injury or rape or death of any person in these incidents as alleged in some social media posts,” it said.
There has been violence in some parts of Maharashtra following rallies taken out by Muslim organisations on Friday to protest against incidents in Tripura. In Amravati, over 8,000 people had gathered outside the district collector’s office on Friday to submit a memorandum demanding that atrocities against the minority community in Tripura be stopped.
Violence was reported in Amravati, Nanded, Malegaon, Washim and Yavatmal. Police have so far arrested 20 people and detained four others by registering 20 FIRs under various charges, including rioting, in connection with Friday’s incidents.
