Dinajpur (WB), July 10 : Customs officials here have seized antiques of Hindu Gods and Goddesses worth million of rupees.

The idols date back to the fourth and fifth centuries AD. They were seized during a raid on Jabragachi village in South Dinajpur district.

No arrests have been made so far, an official said.

"This is a part of a big racket. We are investigating it further. These things are coming into India from Bangladesh and Nepal," said R. Mungababu, Additional Commissioner of Customs, North Bengal and Sikkim.
