Manipuri musician Chongtham Vikram Singh, 55, was beaten to death outside his home in South Delhi’s Kilokari village late Sunday night, allegedly after he objected to a group of men making noise. According to his family, Singh stepped out around 11.30 pm and asked the men, mostly delivery executives according to police, to stop the ruckus before the confrontation turned violent. His son took him to Holy Family Hospital, where he died early Monday from haemorrhagic shock caused by blunt force trauma. Southeast Delhi Police said all seven accused have been arrested and a minor apprehended, with further investigation underway. Singh was a pioneering rock musician and former lead guitarist of Manipur’s Phoenix and Eastern Dark. (PC: Newsdrum)
