Tillu Tajpuria Murder

Delhi Police on Wednesday got a recorded statement of three jail inmates in the Tillu Tajpuria murder case before Patiala House Court.

The Delhi Prisons Department has initiated the process of procuring electric shock batons, pepper sprays and other non-lethal weapons to be used by prison personnel to quell inmate brawls inside jails.

The Delhi High Court on Friday asked Tihar jail authorities some searching questions about how dreaded gangster Tillu Tajpuria was killed in a knife attack by a rival gang inside the high-security prison while security staff watched the incident.

With Tillu Tajpuriya's murder inside Delhi's Tihar jail early this month raising questions on security inside the prison, Commissioner of Police (Special Cell) HGS Dhaliwal on Friday said that there were "lapses from the jail administration's end."

More than 90 jail officials here were transferred on Thursday, days after gangster Tillu Tajpuriya was killed inside Tihar Jail allegedly by members of a rival gang, officials said.
