A 38-year-old Manipuri music teacher was beaten to death by a mob in South Delhi on September 7, 2026, after he objected to a group drinking and shouting outside his residence.
Delhi Police have arrested eight individuals, all employees of a nearby dhaba, following the assault that occurred late Sunday night; the victim succumbed to his injuries shortly after being rushed to the hospital.
The incident has sparked widespread protests from the Northeast community in Delhi, with the police commissioner promising a fast-track investigation and enhanced security measures in the Satya Niketan area.
