By India Today News Desk: Notorious gangster Tillu Tajpuriya, who was an accused in Delhi’s Rohini court shootout in 2021, died in Mandoli jail on Tuesday morning after he was attacked by a group of rival gang members with an iron rod and stabbed with a ‘sua’ 40 times, according to Tihar jail sources. A ‘sua’ is a big needle often used to break slabs of ice.
According to jail officials, Tillu’s killing was believed to be revenge for the murder of gangster Jitendra Gogi. Four gangsters, who were a part of Gogi’s gang, were lodged on the first floor of Jail Number-9.
To carry out the murder, the gangsters cut the iron grill of their cell and jumped to the ground floor with the help of a sheet.
They then killed Tillu, who was lodged in a high-security prison.

ROHIT MOI’S HAND IN TILLU’S MURDER
The jail officials said they are suspecting gangster Rohit Moi’s hand in the brutal murder of Tillu. Rohit Moi is believed to be Gogi’s right-hand. Many gangsters from the Gogi gang are lodged in Tihar jail. It is also being said that Gogi’s gang worked with Lawrence Bishnoi and his henchmen.
The Gogi gang is headed by gangster Deepak ‘Boxer’ who was arrested by the Delhi Police Special Cell team from Mexico. Presently, he is lodged in Tihar jail.
FRIENDS-TURNED-FOES
Once upon a time, Tillu and Gogi were friends. While Tillu was a resident of Tajpur village, Gogi was from Alipur village. The friendship went sour when Gogi’s henchmen killed Vikas, an aide of Tillu, in 2012.
Gogi was later killed in the Rohini court shootout in September 2021 and Tillu was accused of Gogi’s murder.

NIA WAS PROBING TERROR ANGLE
On August 26 last year, the NIA registered an FIR against several gangsters, including Tillu. The FIR alleged that these gangsters could carry out terror activities in the country by conspiring with gangsters sitting abroad.
12 KILLED IN TILLU-GOGI RIVALRY
Tillu had been running his gang in Alipur and Sonipat for the last many years. He used to commit crimes like kidnapping, extortion and murder in Delhi-NCR. Tillu was arrested for the first time in 2015 by Sonipat police.
In March 2022, a close friend of Tillu was killed by henchmen from Gogi’s gang in Rohini court. In the last six years, 12 gangsters were killed in the aftermath of rivalry between the gangs of Tillu and Gogi.
