Guwahati (Assam) [India], September 8 (ANI): Popular Assamese singer and composer Joi Barua on Tuesday termed the killing of 54-year-old Manipuri musician C Vikram Singh in Delhi a “plain-blooded murder”. 

Speaking about the incident, Barua said it was particularly shameful as it involved a musician on a day when the country was celebrating the birth centenary of legendary singer Bhupen Hazarika.

Barua further said, “I really hope some... the harshest of laws are implemented and you know this is taken as a sign that this will not be taken on further."

The 54-year-old Manipuri music teacher was killed after being allegedly assaulted by a group of men in Kilokari Village, in Delhi’s Ashram area, following a dispute over noise and nuisance outside his residence.

According to the Police, a PCR call regarding the alleged beating of C Vikram Singh was received at Delhi's Sunlight Colony police station on September 7. 

Police said the preliminary enquiry indicated that Singh had objected to alleged shouting and nuisance by delivery boys and dhaba staff in front of his residence in Kilokari Village.

When he came downstairs and objected, he was allegedly assaulted with fists and blows.

The official further informed that they have registered an FIR under murder provisions and said all the accused, including minors, have been apprehended.

The further investigation is still underway. (ANI)
