  "account": "Chongtham Vikram Singh, a musician from Manipur, was killed in Delhi after objecting to noise outside his residence. Born into a musical family, his mother Chongtham Kamala is a renowned Manipuri singer and actress. Singh became a pioneer of Manipur’s early rock scene, teaching and mentoring young musicians in Delhi. Colleagues, including Sachidananda Angom and Mame Khan, remember him as kind, helpful, and never argumentative. Fellow musicians, family members, and well-wishers held a candlelight vigil for Singh, who leaves behind his wife and son. The Manipur CM has requested a fair probe and reinforced security measures in Delhi.",
