Man takes selfies with ₹30cr statue & steals its thumb, held

A US man attending an 'Ugly Sweater Party' took a selfie with a terracotta warrior statue worth $4.5 million (around ₹30 crore) before allegedly stealing its thumb. The 2,000-year-old statue, built by a Chinese emperor, had been loaned to US' Franklin Institute by China. Chinese authorities slammed the Franklin Institute for being "careless" while demanding "severe punishment" for the accused.
