A statue of former prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru outside India House in London was allegedly disfigured by vandals.
The damage was discovered by authorities on Friday morning.
The remains of the statue were found wrapped in a white sheet, according to the authorities.
However, it is still not known who was behind this attack despite CCTV cameras installed at the site.
The CCTV cameras, which were trained on the statue, were apparently turned skywards by the culprits.
India's High Commissioner to United Kingdom, Shiv Shankar Mukherjee has said the police are investigating the matter.
CNN-IBN Correspondent Akanksha Banerji reports: "The High Commission was besieged on Thursday by Tamil protesters as they were upset with India's support to the Sri Lankan government in the ongoing war against the LTTE. Scotland Yard is investigating the incident. The Indian High Commission has not commented on who it thinks might have been responsible. CCTV cameras installed at the site were turned away from the statue."
