The Delhi Police on Saturday dismissed as “rumours” the controversial quotes written on the door of a chapel at Delhi University’s St Stephen’s college.

Students union president Sai Aashirwaad earlier said inflammatory quotes like ‘Mandir Yahi Banega’ were found written on the chapel’s main door, while an ‘Om’ symbol along with the words ‘I’m going to hell’ was found on the cross behind the chapel on Friday.
