New Delhi: <\/b><\/p>\n
Jailed gangster Tillu Tajpuriya was killed in an attack by rival gang members inside a Delhi prison today, officials have said.<\/p>\n
Tillu Tajpuriya alias Sunil Mann was thrashed with iron rods by gangster Yogesh Tunda and his aides at Tihar prison early this morning.<\/p>\n
He was rushed to Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital where the doctors declared him dead on arrival.<\/p>\n
Tillu was the prime conspirator in the 2021 Rohini Court shootout in which gangster Jitender Gogi was killed.<\/p>\n
Two members of the Tillu gang had shot dead Jitender Gogi inside the Rohini court on September 24, 2021. Both then were killed in retaliatory firing by the police.<\/p>\n
“Two men dressed as lawyers opened fire at Jitender Gogi inside the court. That’s when police retaliated and killed those two assailants. It’s not a gang war,” police had told NDTV.<\/p>\n
The shooting was the result of a rivalry of years between Jitender Gogi’s gang and the Tillu gang, the police said.<\/p>\n
A preliminary investigation into the case had revealed that the instruction to kill Jitender Gogi was given on phone by Tillu Tajpuriya.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
