The samadhi of Bhai Vastiram, a minister in the court of Maharaja Ranjeet Singh, lies in ruins reports Pakistan’s Daily Times. Located behind the Lahore Fort, the samadhi was attacked in a senseless act of revenge when the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya was demolished. Scavengers have since been chipping away at the monument, stealing chunks of priceless marble and selling them on.
