Artefacts smuggling bid foiled in Karachi

7-6-2012_57599_l.jpg


KARACHI: Police foiled an attempt to smuggle over fifty ancient artefacts and statues and arrested two individuals. On information received from intelligence agencies, police conducted a raid and seized the artefacts.

Those arrested informed the police that the owner of the artefacts was a person called Atif ****.

According to DSP Awami Colony Majeed Abbas, the value of the artefacts was being ascertained.

It is estimated that the 2,000 year old artefacts which were from the Gandhara civilization could be sold in the international market for millions. They are obtained by illegal digging and smuggled out of the country via Karachi.

Meanwhile the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government wants the artefacts to be given to them so they can exhibit them in a museum.

Its a shame.

These works of art have stood alone for centuries & its takes greed for a few $ to undo everything.

Don't know how those criminals were able to steal and move these heavy sculptures.

Funny,that is the same rate your mother was offering me the other day!Only it was "per hour"!
what , my mom doesnt have a statue to rent.
if you think you are insulting by talking about sex and mother, too bad, i have seen far too many gali de gunde types to feel insulted. my mom is close to 60 and I am sorry that such kind of things turn you on.
btw, hindus dont like mutilated body parts.

At this rate ,Pakistan will be left with nothing to show ,nor feel proud about..

This should be one of the top priorities of the Pakistani govt and policing forces.
