Purported videos of a group of four to five men demolishing the shrine using pick axes and hammers have gone viral on social media.

A 'mazar' within the walls of a famous residential school here was razed following protests by right-wing Hindu outfits.

The structure stood inside The Doon School which has among its alumni several celebrities and political leaders including former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi, his son Rahul Gandhi, Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia Karan Singh, Naveen Patnaik besides celebrated authors like Amitav Ghosh and Vikram Seth.

It is the most famous British-era private boarding school for boys in Dehradun.
