A dispute over noise escalated into tragedy in southeast Delhi's Kilokari Village when a 55-year-old musician from Manipur was beaten to death. Chongtham Vikram Singh, a respected musician and son of renowned vocalist Chongtham Ongbi Kamala Devi, had approached a local dhaba to request they reduce the commotion.
During the confrontation, workers from the dhaba allegedly attacked Singh as he was descending the stairs. He sustained severe injuries and was rushed to Holy Family Hospital by his son, Yaiphaba. Tragically, Singh succumbed to his injuries while undergoing treatment.
Authorities have since arrested eight individuals associated with the dhaba, including a minor. The arrested workers were reportedly involved in food delivery or packaging. A case has been registered under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, and senior police officials have assured the victim's family of swift action.
