New Delhi: A second CCTV footage has emerged on social media showing the murder of gangster Tillu Tajpuriya allegedly by the members of the notorious Jitender Gogi gang inside the high-security Tihar Jail on May 2 in the presence of prison officials.
Prison officials were seen taking the body of the gangster out from the barracks just when a man comes running from inside and goes on to stab, kick and punch Tillu Tajpuriya a.k.a. Sunil Maan ensuring that he is dead. The Tihar prison officials just stand there as spectators and see whatever goes down without intervening or trying to stop the man stabbing the already unconscious gangster.
Stabbed 50 times
The disturbing footage has sparked significant concerns about the level of security within Tihar and the apparent lack of action on the part of officials to quell the violence.
