A portrait of Mahatma Gandhi was also defaced at Bapu Bhawan in Laxmanbagh Sansthan here on Gandhi Jayanti by unidentified persons who wrote "deshdrohi" or traitor over. The theft was 'shameful,' said Mangaldeep Tiwari, caretaker of the Bapu Bhawan memorial, where the ashes were being held. "I opened the gate of the Bhawan early in the morning because it was Gandhi's birthday," he told Indian website The Wire. "This madness must stop," Mr Singh told The Wire. "I urge Rewa police to check CCTV cameras installed inside Bapu Bhawan."
