Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Wednesday said the state government has taken serious note of vandalism at Dr B R Ambedkar's house 'Rajgruh' in Mumbai and the guilty will not be spared.

Two persons threw stones on glass windows, and damaged CCTV cameras and potted plants at 'Rajgruh' in Dadar area on Tuesday night, a police official said. CCTV footage from the erstwhile home of the Constitution architect shows a person smashing flower pots in the compound before fleeing, the official said. Matunga police have registered an FIR in the incident. Located at Hindu Colony in Dadar, the two-storey heritage bungalow houses the Ambedkar Museum where Babasaheb's books, portrait, ashes and vessels are among the artefacts.
