Controversial quotes were reportedly found written on the door of a chapel at Delhi University's St Stephen's college here. 

Students union president Sai Aashirwaad 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 situated behind the chapel yesterday.

"The messages, however, were cleared today," he said. 

The college administration had announced preparatory holidays for students from April 28, with only those having practical exams attending the college. 

Principal John Varghese was unavailable for comments.

Congress MP and St Stephen’s alumni Shashi Tharoor wrote on Twitter: “Dismayed to hear of vandalism at the chapel of St Stephen's College, w/ "mandir yahin banega" scrawled on the door. Never thought a hate crime would literally darken the doors of my alma mater. The perpetrator must be found &an example made of him. @DelhiPolice.”
