New Delhi: On Tuesday, 02 May 2023, Gangster Tillu Tajpuriya was killed in an attack by rival gang members inside Tihar Jail.
Tillu Tajpuriya was brutally thrashed with iron rods allegedly by gangster Yogesh Tunda and his aides in the prison with tight security, officials said.
He was immediately rushed to Delhi’s Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital, where doctors declared him dead, the police said.
Another prisoner, Rohit, also got injured in the attack.
His condition is now stable.
Yogesh Tunda, Deepak Teetar, Riyaj Khan, and Rajesh, broke the iron rods of their ward, which was on the first floor of the jail.
They attacked Tillu, who had been kept in a ground floor ward with his other gang members, officials said.
The four members of the rival Gogi gang used bedsheets to climb down to the ground floor.
Gangster Tillu was the mastermind in the 2021 Rohini Court shoot in which gangster Jitender Gogi was killed.
Two members of the Tillu gang who were dressed as lawyers, shot dead Jitender Gogi inside the Rohini court on September 24, 2021.
Both were then killed in firing by the police.
"Two men dressed as lawyers fired at Jitender Gogi inside the court premises.
Then police killed those two assailants," told police.
