‘Totally unacceptable’: Delhi high court on Tillu Tajpuriya murder in Tihar jail

Hindustan Times  

NEW DELHI: The murder of 33-year-old gangster Sunil Baliyan aka Tillu Tajpuriya in his prison cell in Tihar jail is a totally unacceptable state of affairs, the Delhi high court observed on Monday and ordered the jail superintendent to appear before the bench in person on the next date of hearing on May 25. Jailed gangster Tillu Tajpuriya, an accused in the Rohini court shootout, was killed in a morning attack by rivals inside the jail on May 2. Justice Jasmeet Singh, who was hearing a petition filed by Tillu Tajpuriya’s father and brother to seek a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation into the gangster’s death, also ordered the director general of prisons to file a report within a week, listing the jail officers who were responsible for the lapses that led to the murder in the high-security prison. Tillu Tajpuriya was stabbed to death - an initial estimate indicated he was stabbed over 100 times - inside his prison cell by four inmates, allegedly by members of the criminal group earlier led by his rival Jitender Gogi who was shot dead inside a Rohini courtroom in September 2021 by Tillu’s gang.
