  "account": "The autopsy of Manipuri musician Chongtham Vikram Singh, who was killed in Delhi on September 7, reveals he died from a blunt force to the chest and abdomen. The postmortem report indicates multiple abrasions on his head, face, neck, limbs, chest, abdomen, and back. Doctors found fractured ribs, bleeding, and blood clots around fractures, as well as a laceration to his spleen. Chongtham was found unconscious at Holy Family Hospital around 12:25am and passed away at 6:32am due to hemorrhagic shock caused by internal bleeding. The assailants reportedly beat him for objecting to noise from a dhaba outside his home in southeast Delhi's Kilokari village. Police have arrested seven men and a juvenile, identifying the accused as Bharat Kumar, Pramod, Ramzan Khan, Deepanshu, Mohan Vishwakarma, Vijay, and Mannu. The FIR states that Chongtham was previously threatened by the accused when he asked them to stop making noise. Police are investigating the incident, considering the possibility of a racial angle.",
