Case of the Day: The Stele of Rishabhanata was seized before auction at Christie's New York in March 2016, together with Revanta and his Entourage. Both seizures resulted from evidence found during searches of dealer Subhash Kapoor's warehouses in 2012.

In this case, a photograph sent to Kapoor turned out to be the 'smoking gun', showing the Stele in situ.
The sculpture did not sell and was returned to the Lahiris, who offered it at Christie's in March 2016, where it was seized.
