Happened to visit Fategarh Sahib in Sirhind, Punjab two months back. Where two Sahibzaade Zorawar Singh & Fateh Singh (sons of Guru Gobind Singh) were bricked alive in a wall by Wazir Khan on instructions of Aurangzeb. The brown arch inside is the wall in which they were bricked 
SHRI GURU GOBIND SINGH JI`S old mother, Mata Gujari Ji, and her two son, Zorawar Singh ji and Fateh Singh ji, aged 9 and 7 years respectively, had nowhere to go until their cook, named Gangu, offered to take them to his own village Kheri. They accompanied him to his house.
But he proved deceitful and betrayed them to Jam Khan and Man Khan of Morinda. They latter at once dispatched them to Sirhind where they were consigned to the Cold Tower (Thanda Burj GURUDWARA SHRI THANDA BURZ SAHIB exist there) of the Fort.
On 9 December 1705, Zorawar Singh ji and Fateh Singh ji were produced before Wazir Khan. who had just returned from the battle of Chamkaur. Wazir Khan tried to lure them to embrace Islam with promises of riches and honors, but they spurned the offer.
He threatened them with death as an alternative to Islam, but they remained firm. A death sentence was eventually awarded. Nawab Sher Muhammad Khan of Malerkotla protested that it would be improper to harm the innocent children.
Wazir Khan, however, ordered them to be bricked up alive in a wall, if they still refused conversion. They were kept in the Cold Tower in that severe winter for another two days.
tunder the orders of Wazir Khan they were bricked alive in the wall. That place is in Basement. Next Day there bodies were taken out from there and were thrown on the back side of GURUDWARA SAHIB. GURUDWARA SHRI BIBANGARH SAHIB exists there.
It was Diwan Todar Mal at that time who purchased the land nearby when no one was ready to give place for cremation. Finally the place where the bodies were cremated is known as Jyoti Jyot Sahib just next to Fategarh Sahib in Sirhind, Punjab.
