The video of the attack went viral after Tajpuriya was killed early Tuesday allegedly by four members of the rival Gogi gang – Deepak alias Titar, Yogesh alias Tunda, Rajesh, and Riyaz Khan – who stabbed him “92 times”. The four attackers, lodged on the first floor of the prison, cut an iron grille and used bed sheets to climb down.
Shocking CCTV footage from the jail capturing the attack showed Tajpuriya, wearing a red T-shirt and black shorts, rushing inside a cell and pulling the iron door to shut it after he spots the attackers.
Since the door can’t be locked from the inside, the attackers manage to barge inside the cell and pull Tajpuriya outside. They drag him to the common area and stab him repeatedly in the neck, back and head with improvised weapons as he tries to shield his face from the brutal attack.
The attackers keep stabbing Tajpuriya with sharp-edged weapons until their hands are drenched in blood, which also splatters on the ground. The attack ended within two minutes.
Officials stated that the Special Cell of Delhi Police, which specializes in handling cases related to gang rivalry, will be investigating the killing inside the Tihar jail premises.
They also revealed that the same team will be looking into the murder of another gangster, Prince Tewatia, a close associate of Lawrence Bishnoi, that took place in the jail last month.
Permission to interrogate the four inmates allegedly responsible for Tajpuriya’s murder has been granted by the court. The crime scene has been inspected and evidence, including blood-stained clothes, improvised weapons, and bed sheets, has been collected.
Tajpuriya had been in Tihar jail since 2016 and was facing a threat to his life following his involvement in the 2021 Rohini court shootout that resulted in the death of gangster Jitender Gogi.
