Sikkimese Rapper UNB Assaulted in Arunachal Pradesh; Police Investigate
Sikkimese rapper Ugen Namgyal Bhutia (UNB) was allegedly attacked by eight to ten men near Tiwari Gaon in Arunachal Pradesh's Lower Dibang Valley while returning from a festival performance. The assailants, traveling in two vehicles with mud-covered number plates, reportedly followed and intercepted UNB's car, targeting him and his manager with metal rods. UNB sustained head and facial injuries but is stable after medical evaluation. Police have registered an FIR, are investigating the incident, and have alerted checkpoints to track suspects amid challenges posed by poor connectivity and lack of witnesses.
