Prima facie

On September 24, 2021, two associates of Tajpuria disguised as lawyers shot dead Jitendra Gogi inside Delhi’s Rohini court. Gogi died on the spot, while his two killers were gunned down by the police inside the courtroom. At that time Tajpuria was already inside the jail in some case. He was said to be the main conspirator of the attack and was also interrogated after the incident.

Gang war

Bitterness has been going on between Gogi and Tajpuria gang for almost a decade. During these 10 years, more than two dozen people have been killed so far in the clashes between the two groups. The arrested members of both the gangs are involved in cases of murder, extortion, dacoity and car theft.
