New Delhi: Delhi Police has filed a charge sheet against six people in connection with the murder of gangster Tillu Tajpuria. Tajpuria was stabbed to death more than 90 times inside Tihar Jail.
The murder raised significant concerns about the level of security inside Tihar Jail and the apparent lack of action on the part of the authorities to stop the violence.
The charge sheet was filed in the court of Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Snigdha Sarwariya, who posted the matter for further hearing on August 17.
The murder was captured in the CCTV cameras installed inside the jail. The High Court had also questioned the jail authorities about the murder taking place inside the jail premises and the lack of timely steps to stop it.
A charge sheet has been filed against six accused — Deepak Dabas, Yogesh, Rajesh, Riyaz Khan, Ata-ul Rehman and Chavanni — under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
Tajpuria, 33, a resident of Tajpur Kalan on the outskirts of Delhi, was lodged in Tihar Jail under tight security measures.
He was accused in the 2021 Rohini Court shootout in which rival gangster Jitendra Gogi was killed.
