Debate With Arnab Goswami: Manipuri Musician Lynched In Heart of New Delhi, Zero Fear Of Law?

In a chilling and horrific incident that has sent shockwaves across the nation, renowned Manipuri musician Chongtham Vikram Singh was brutally beaten to death by a mob just steps outside his home in southeast Delhi's Kilokari village. The 54-year-old pioneer of the Manipuri rock scene was mercilessly lynched late at night after he simply objected to a group of delivery executives and dhaba workers creating a drunken ruckus and loud noise in the neighborhood. As harrowing details emerge, the Delhi Police have registered a case under the stringent Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) sections for mob lynching and arrested seven individuals, while apprehending a juvenile.

This horrific murder has triggered massive national outrage and raised alarming questions about the safety of citizens, particularly from the Northeast, in the heart of the national capital. While Union Minister Kiren Rijiju has assured that the safety of every Indian is "non-negotiable" and promised swift legal action, the Opposition has launched a blistering attack. Leaders like Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge are questioning the Home Ministry and the Delhi administration over the complete collapse of law and order, asking: "Are we safe here?".

Tonight, on a fiery edition of The Debate, Republic's Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami demands absolute accountability for this senseless tragedy. Why is there zero fear of the law on the streets of Delhi? Are the capital's civic and law enforcement authorities failing to protect innocent citizens from unprovoked mob violence? Watch the full, unsparing debate as Arnab confronts the systemic apathy and demands immediate, uncompromising justice for Chongtham Vikram Singh and his grieving family!
