Tamil Nadu Police's Idol Wing has stopped the auction of an antique, dating to the 11th or 12th century, at the European Fine Arts Exhibition in Maastricht in the Netherlands.

The breakthrough came when the Idol Wing-CID received intelligence that the Kannappa Nayanar idol had resurfaced at the European Fine Art Exhibition-2025, held in Maastricht, Netherlands.

The Kannappa Nayanar metal idol was secured by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs on March 23, 2025, after the intervention by the Idol Wing CID and the Archaeological Survey of India.
