A Manipuri musician died after being assaulted in Delhi, prompting the Congress party to accuse Home Minister H.M. Shah of turning the capital into a crime hub.
A musician from Manipur was brutally attacked in Delhi and later succumbed to his injuries, according to local reports. The assault took place in a public area of the capital, and the victim was identified as a performer who had been residing in the city for work.
The opposition Congress party seized on the incident, issuing a statement that described Delhi as having become a "crime capital" under the watch of Home Minister H.M. Shah. Party leaders demanded an immediate, transparent investigation and called for stricter law‑and‑order measures.
Delhi police have opened a case and are reportedly reviewing CCTV footage and eyewitness accounts to identify the assailants. Officials said they would keep the public informed as the probe progresses.
The incident adds to growing concerns about safety in the national capital, with recent spikes in violent crimes prompting calls for stronger policing and community outreach.
Congress urged the central government to intervene and ensure that justice is served, warning that unchecked violence could erode public confidence in the administration's ability to maintain order.
