New Delhi: Lok Sabha Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi has alleged that families from the northeastern states living in the national capital Delhi are unsafe, pointing out that the famous musician from Manipur, Songtham Vikram Singh, was beaten to death by a mob.
In this regard, he said on his X page: Songtham Vikram Singh, a 54-year-old music teacher from Manipur who lived in Kilokri village in the Delhi Ashram area, died after being attacked by a mob in a dispute over noise and disturbance outside his home.
According to the police, Vikram Singh’s objection to the noise made by restaurant workers and delivery boys opposite his house is said to have led to this death. A person has been killed right at the doorstep of his home in the capital of his own country. After such repeated incidents, are we safe here? That is the same question every northeastern family in Delhi is asking today.
Have the Union Home Minister Amit Shah and the Delhi Police taken any action to prevent these illegal acts that are increasingly being committed against the people of the northeastern states? A swift investigation should be conducted into this incident, and the culprits should be brought before the law. I express my deepest condolences to Vikram Singh’s family. Rahul said this.
On September 7, information was received at Delhi’s Sunlight Colony police station that Vikram Singh had been attacked. In the initial investigation, it was confirmed that he had been attacked for objecting to the noise being made.
Police officials have said that a murder case has been registered in connection with this incident, and that all those accused, including minors, have been arrested.
