The crime team inspected the site of the occurrence and retrieved an empty cartridge and a 9mm handgun with live ammunition. The slain individual worked as a farmer and had no prior criminal history.
“The eldest brother of the deceased, Sonu alias Dabbang also known as Amit, who is 31 years old, is in jail for the last six years and is associated with the Tillu gang. Another elder brother of the deceased, Monu, aged 27 years has recently been released from jail in January,” they mentioned. The matter is currently under further inquiry.
Gangster Tillu Tajpuria killed inside Tihar jail
Notably, Tillu Tajpuria was killed after being attacked by Yogesh Tunda and other members of a rival gang at Delhi’s Tihar jail. A shocking video of the horrific attack also surfaced on social media in which the members of the rival gang could be seen stabbing Tillu Tajpuria at least 92 times.
Tillu Tajpuria was reportedly transferred from Rohini jail roughly 15 days ago and was scheduled to be transferred again within five days. Only this year have three of the four Tillu murderers been transferred to Tihar. Tajpuria was the prime accused in the shootout that had taken place in the Rohini Court in Delhi in 2021 which had left Gangster Jitendra Gogi dead.
According to the police, members of the Gogi gang had attacked Tajpuria to avenge Jitendra Gogi’s death. After the attack, Tajpuria was rushed to Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital, where doctors declared him brought dead. The assailants were identified as Deepak alias Teetar, Yogesh alias Tunda, Rajesh and Riyaz Khan. All of them were locked on the first floor of the same barrack.
