> Chongtham Vikram Singh, a 54-year-old guitarist from India’s northeastern state of Manipur, died after a mob chased and assaulted him at his New Delhi home. Police have arrested eight people, including a minor, on murder charges but have not disclosed a motive. The killing has renewed an outcry over longstanding racism and marginalisation faced by people from the northeast.
