Overview
- The Jan. 24 incident at the Baba Bulleh Shah mazaar on Wynberg-Allen School property involved an alleged group of 25–30 people using hammers and crowbars to damage the site.
- An FIR lists Hari Om, Shivau/Shivayun, and Shraddha plus 20–30 unidentified suspects under BNS sections 196(1)(b) and 298, and no arrests have been made.
- Mussoorie police say the sections invoked do not mandate arrest, additional forces are deployed at the site, and investigators are reviewing circulating videos.
- Hindu Raksha Dal state leader Lalit Sharma publicly backed the action and earlier warned of demolition, as local committee members filed complaints and reported prior threats.
- Authorities are also examining the shrine’s legal status after a recent Forest Department notice to the school following a viral claim that the structure sat on forest land.
