On Monday midnight, a two-member team of specialist replica makers visited the controversial Guimet Museum in France to inspect a rare statue already sent from Bangladesh to Paris for an exhibition. A confirmed source told Weekly Blitz that the authorities of Guimet Museum is now looking into legal aspects of holding the whole batch of first consignment of artifacts sent from Bangladesh for, what Guimet says, non performance of the contractual obligation of the authorities in Dhaka in sending the second consignment of artifacts. It may be mentioned here that, some of the extremely eager buyers have already told authorities in Guimet Museum that they are willing to pay US$ 70 million for the statue shown in the photograph. Guimet may need to spend only US$ 40,000 for making a replica of the same statue with the same materials.
 
Bangladesh authorities have already discovered that Air France authorities have already shifted two of the most precious Vishnu statues right after the entire second consignment was handed over to them. It is further learnt that at least two of the advisors in the present interim government are actively involved with the entire scam. Son of one of the advisors is expected to arrive in Paris sometime in January for receiving his stake of share in the smuggling of valuable artifacts from Bangladesh. It was already reported in Weekly Blitz that at least 36 pieces of invaluable artifacts in the two batches shall be sold to international racket while Bangladesh will get back only replicas of those stolen and sold artifacts. Following disclosure of the theft of two statues from Air France custody in Dhaka, Cultural Affairs Advisor Syed Ayub Qadri is expected to resign from his post for failure in performing his duties as well as for causing tremendous loss to the nation by forcefully pushing the sending of invaluable artifacts abroad despite tremendous protest.
