Sikkimese Rapper UNB Attacked in Arunachal Pradesh; Police Investigate
Sikkim-based 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 in Anini. The assailants reportedly followed UNB's vehicle for nearly an hour, vandalized it with rods, and targeted UNB and his manager, causing head and facial injuries. The attackers fled after a truck approached. Police face challenges investigating due to poor mobile connectivity, lack of witnesses, and the isolated location. Authorities have registered a case and are pursuing the investigation.
