New Delhi: Delhi Municipal Corporation on Tuesday reached rape accused Baba Virendra Dev Dikshit’s Delhi ashram to demolish it. The ashram is located in Vijay Vihar.

As per the MCD officials, the ashram is illegally constructed. The officials would soon initiate the demolition work.

A heavy police force has been deployed outside the ashram to ensure peace is maintained while the demolition work is underway.
