Delhi Police Files Chargesheet Against Seven in Manipuri Musician's Lynching Case
Delhi Police filed a chargesheet against seven men and a juvenile in connection with the September 6, 2026, mob lynching of 54-year-old Manipuri musician and teacher Chongtham Vikram Singh in southeast Delhi's Kilokari village. The accused, mostly dhaba workers, allegedly assaulted Singh after he objected to loud noise outside his home, leading to his death from blunt-force injuries. The chargesheet, supported by over 30 witness statements and spanning 500 pages, includes criminal conspiracy, murder by a group, and house trespass. The case is now with the Sessions Court for further proceedings, and police are investigating a possible racial angle.
