Tamil Nadu's Anti-Idol Wing successfully thwarted the auction of a stolen Kannappa Nayanar idol, which was scheduled to take place at the European Fine Arts Exhibition 2025 in the Netherlands. The idol, stolen from a temple in Tamil Nadu in 2010, was secured by Dutch authorities following an alert from Indian officials.
