Jailed gangster Tillu Tajpuriya was killed early on Tuesday inside Tihar Jail by members of the Gogi gang who allegedly cut the iron grille of his high-security ward and attacked him with an improvised sharp object, officials said.
On April 3, the 27-year-old was in a hotel in Mexico’s Cancun when two officers from the Delhi Police’s Special Cell showed up much to his “shock” and caught him with the help of US and Mexican agencies. This is the first time the Delhi Police has arrested a gangster in another country.
A wanted gangster, who escaped police custody at Karkardooma court on April 22, was arrested by the Delhi police after a brief gunfight. The accused was allegedly involved in last year's Guru Teg Bahadur hospital shootout case.
